Heritage Coast has now finished second in four of her five starts, including twice in handicap company. She may not be one to desert just yet, though, as she has been unlucky to come up against in-form performers on her last two starts.
This was another sound effort from Stow, who looked to have plenty to do giving weight and racing from stall one.
Green Wadi kept on through beaten horses. Straight And Level could not sustain his challenge after racing up with the pace for much of the race, while Always Brave was far too keen in the early exchanges. Ace Of Spies dropped away after his early exploits.
