Hollyford behind, tailed off final 6f

Ossie´s Star immediately labouring in detached last, tailed off halfway, finished nearly 2f behind




Analyis of the race

FRASCATI PARK was simply in a different league to these rivals. Bought for 60,000gns at the Cheltenham breeze-ups, Carl Llewellyn has always thought a bit of the four-year-old and has given him time since arriving at the yard. Testing conditions were clearly no problem - in fact, the trainer thought that he had almost certainly benefited from them - and a similar event to this should be his for the taking, even under a winner's penalty.

two-furlong pole and she was being reeled in for second close home by Sisella, who is related to a couple of smart long-distance chasers and seems to be cut from pretty much the same cloth judged on this showing.

Seattle Sound finished best of the rest, but they were a long way adrift of the winner.
