Big Slick made all, joined and ridden over 1f out, stayed on strongly inside final furlong
Little Eden chased leaders, headway over 1f out, ridden and kept on inside final furlong
Miss Sunshine towards rear, headway 2f out, ridden and kept on inside final furlong, nearest finish
Handsinthemist chased leaders on outer, headway 2f out, ridden and chance over 1f out, driven and one pace inside final furlong
Linnet Park close up, ridden well over 1f out, edged left and put and head in air, weakened inside final furlong
The Little Fizzer chased leaders, effort 2f out, soon ridden and weakened
Dalarossie reared and bumped start, switched to stands' rail and always in rear
Captain Turbot went right start, always towards rear
Myriola chased leaders, ridden along 2f out, soon weakened
La Guancha prominent, ridden along over 2f out, soon weakened
That remark couldn't be applied to the all-the-way winner BIG SLICK, who fairly scampered away after being challenged two out to follow up a similar success at Catterick. He may make an attempt for the hat-trick at Newcastle on Monday over 6f.
Little Eden, a winner on his debut at Southwell, was making his turf debut and ran on allthe way the line. He should get further.
interesting.
Handsinthemist won in the cheekpieces last autumn but looked a difficult ride on this occasion.
A similar comment could be aimed at Linnet Park, who was travelling best two out but hung and found little when let down. Maybe this came a shade too soon after her decent effort last time.
