The consistent TILSWORTH CHARLIE was back a furlong on this easier ground and she certainly looked to have plenty left in the tank at the end, being value for the winning margin. It would be no surprise to see her out again quickly after this deserved success.
Caustic Wit was one of only three to race towards the far side early, and it did him no harm, for this was a creditable effort, and he continues to defy his years.
Top weight Nordic Light enjoyed a 4lb pull for a length-and-a-half defeat behind Caustic Wit over this trip at Brighton last month (Caustic Wit mid-division at Windsor since), so the fact he could only finish 12th this evening was disappointing.
Kyllachy Storm had been a nose away from breaking his duck at the 15th attempt ten days ago at Chepstow over this trip, and this was another good run. His turn will come. Reigning Monarch had excuses the last twice, since his second place over this trip at Folkestone (7f too far, then reared at start), and he showed what he could do with all being equal.
Exit Strategy, second in a 5f claimer ten days earlier, found this company tougher. Who's Winning has never scored beyond 6f, so it was not surprising to see him cut no ice over hurdles. This was his first Flat outing since December and he is likely to benefit for it.
All three of Our Fugitive's wins have been over 5f. He'd run well to be third at Folkestoneover this trip on Tuesday, but that exertion may have told on him.
