He has been raised 25lb since his winning spree began in January, but he travelled like a dream in behind the pace before scooting clear early in the straight and putting his seal on the race. This was some performance conceding weight to the strongest set of rivals he has faced and the handicapper has still not got hold of him.
Obe Gold, well in under his penalty for winning easily at Haydock last week, didn't seem to be travelling at any stage through the first four furlongs of the race; but he really found full stride in the closing stages and flew home down the middle of the track. He didn't really convince that Polytrack is an ideal surface for him.
