It looked a good opportunity for Pediment, who had was possibly unlucky at Great Leighs on her previous start, and she was backed accordingly. Kept much handier this time she was produced with what looked a winning challenge starting up the straight, but having got upsides MONT CERVIN, she could not get by and gave the impression she might have been feeling the drying ground.
Mont Cervin is a big, tall gelding by Sakhee, and he evidently had not settled when trained by his owner Charles Cyzer for two outings last year. He was evidently not totally unfancied here, even though there was a worry the track might not be ideal, and Eddie Ahern allowed him to bowl along in front on his first start for William Haggas. To his credit he found plenty when challenged, and he looks as if he can go on to better things.
Beau Fighter, who was never far away and showed improved form in fourth, also has handicaps as an option now.
Shesha Bear wasn't disgraced, without running up to her BHA mark of 72.
Soggy Dollar passed a couple in the straight but was below his juvenile form, and Piano Sonata's effort down the outside in the back straight failed to amount to much.
