UNLEASHED was always in touch with the pace but he came under strong pressure on the home turn and looked in trouble as he didn't immediately pick up. As he began to find his stride Ted Durcan momentarily dropped the reins as his mount edged towards theinside rail, but he soon gathered them up and got his mount to finish his race strongly and repel the fast finish of Pediment.
The winner has a fine middle distance pedigree and he looks the sort to go on from here.
Pediment also took time to really find his stride having been held up off the steady gallop. He finished with real gusto down the middle in the final furlong and is clearly capable of shedding his maiden tag sooner rather than later.
Princess Gee has run a blinder on the face of it for she has been tailed off on both starts to date and was sent off at 200-1 here. She finished close behind the front three and clearly has ability.
Tewin Green also shaped with much more promise than she had done previously, and she and Heart Of Dubai, who travelled like a decent horse for a long way, look the types to do well.
