Tajweed tracked leader, led over 2f out, ridden out
Full Speed tracked leaders, effort over 2f out, switched outside, challenged over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong
Laterly led, headed over 2f out, one pace
Ivestar always last, reminders over 5f out, lost touch 3f out, behind when eased over 1f out
TAJWEED certainly looks to have improved this season and he followed up his Musselburgh maiden win, travelling well beforegoing on over 2f out, idling slightly in front but finding extra when pressed. He clearly does not do much in front and is therefore just the sort to stay ahead of the handicapper - he ought not to go up too much on this bare result and is likely to remain very competitive when reassessed.
Full Speed lost no caste in defeat and is another who looks to be progressing, challenging over 1f out and keeping on - he appears up to winning off this sort of mark.
Ivestar has yet to findhis best form this year. His jockey Adrian Nicholls reported that Ivestar had a breathing problem.
