EIJAAZ was settled well off the pace, and travelled well. Though he carried his headon one side, he ran on to get up close home. This was his first win for three years.
Caraman had every chance, racing in touch, edging left over 1f out and being caught close home. He's exposed.
Court Of Appeal has a good record here, but things didn't go his way this time for he was challenging on the inside when he ran out of room over 1f out, and though switched, his chance had gone. He was possibly unlucky.
Funky Town, returning after a break having shown promise in a couple of bumpers, missed the break, was keen but moved right up down the far side. He had every chance 2f out, but weakened. He's probably better than the bare form, but that may not mean a great deal as it was a modest event.
