Ever Special ran a sound race as he raced up with the pace, went clear three out but tired after the last. This wouldn't be strong form, but he's well handicapped at present and it was his best run for a while, so he could find a race shortly.
Third went to Mey Clouds, who had every chance from three out but couldn't quicken. He may find a race over hurdles, but looks more of a chasing sort.
Pendle Forest had been in good form, but after racing with the leaders, she dropped away from the third-last and probably found this testing ground against her.
Celtic Saloon made up some ground down the far side, but was beaten three out and will need to improve a good bit on this if he's to win a race.
