She has been struggling to get her head in front, her last time coming in November, but she found herself on a career-low mark and was never going to be caught once kicking into the lead over two furlongs out. She seems to take her racing well and will bid to try and find another small race.
Eagle Nebula qualified for a mark of 65 with the obligatory three runs in maidens, his best effort coming when fourth over 7f here in January, and this step back up in trip looked a positive. Negative in the market beforehand, he settled nicely in the midfield early and moved into second well over a furlong out, but the winner had flown. This was his first run since February and there should be a similar race in him.
The front-running Recalcitrant had run poorly at Bath last time, but he could be given a chance if back to his previous form, which twice saw him place off lower marks, and he ran well back in third. He was readily brushed aside by the winner over two out, but stuck on willingly in third and should remain on a winnable mark.
Moyoko came back to form when finishing second from 2lb out of the handicap at Bath last time and this CD winner held a chance if building on it. He raced a bit wide though and was caught out when the winner kicked, ultimately proving a bit of a disappointment.
Climate, successful in a coupleof Wolverhampton claimers in April, failed in his bid for a hat-trick when returned to handicaps at Chepstow, toiling in the soft ground, and he needed to leave that effort well behind here. Still 14lb higher than when last winning a handicap, he never threatened and is likely to continue to struggle.
