There is not a lot of the former German-placed Lomitas four-year-old VINCES, and he wore bandages all round, but the bookingof Frankie Dettori proved significant when he was jumped out in front and made every yard. His trainer was evidently concerned about the ground and nearly did not run.
Kiho had run to only a modest level when in mid division in two maidens previously, but he ran on to take second approaching the furlong marker and now has handicaps as an option.
Modernist had not shown much on his Nottingham debut last year, and his modest fourth seems to confirm he is one of the stable's lesser lights. (GD)
