Comments in running

Koraleva Tectona held up, good headway on wide outside 2f out, led just inside final furlong, pushed clear

Gainshare led until headed just inside final furlong, no extra

Leonid Glow tracked leaders, challenged over 1f out, kept on same pace

Splash The Cash went right start, mid-division, effort over 2f out, kept on final furlong

Rio Sands chased leaders, one pace approaching final furlong

Connor´s Choice prominent, weakened approaching final furlong

Red Skipper reared start, held up in rear, never a factor

Warners Bay slowly into stride, mid-division, lost place 2f out

Everything in rear, driven and some headway 2f out, soon weakened

Tanley chased leaders on outside, hung left and lost place over 1f out

Planet Queen hampered start, in rear, behind final 2f

Analyis of the race

This looked trappy, with Leonid Glow and Rio Sands in top form and a few others shaping as if they were running into form. KORALEVA TECTONA was hard to assess, as she had been running over 1m before dropping back to 7f last time and was taking a further drop to be tried as a sprinter. She had shown plenty of dash when cutting out the running last time, but was happy to accept a lead on this occasion before running on well in the straight to score decisively. A fast-run 6f evidently suits her best fornow, but she could well prove just as effective at 7f in time.

Gainshare had run no sort of race at Haydock last time, but he was running off a 4lb lower mark here and bounced right back to his best. He is still lightly raced and should be open toimprovement.

*Adrian Nicholls reported that Tanley lost his action.

*Andrew Elliott reported that Planet Queen lost her action.
