ANALYSIS:
Plenty of useful horses and a clutch of progressive ones
for a truly run handicap which looks sure to throw up
plenty of winners as the season progresses.
REEL BUDDY quickened up
smartly despite wandering to win it a shade readily,
proving he stays seven really well and putting up a
performance which looks well up to Listed if not Group 3
level.
Baccura bounced right back
to form on a sound surface, but Early Morning Mist
looks more interesting as she is clearly still on the up
and camehome willingly in the face of what looked a stiff
task. She should progress again and go close next time at
this level.
Lapwing had every chance
and has clearly trained on well. So has Zozarharry,
who may well do better yet given that this washis first
run for the Cecil stable.
La Notte seems consistent
and ran well considering her stable have yet to hit top
form, but Esher Common was the other eye-catcher.
He's hardly the best handicapped horse in training at
present, but he travelled much better than most for a long
way and will doubtless be dropped a few pounds soon.
Midshipman also ran better
than the bare result suggests, plugging on, and he could
be worth trying over a mile. By contrast Only One
Legend may well be a sprinter and could go close at a
fair price next time given that he is fairly treated at
his best.
Sultan Gamal, off the bit
a long way out, was well below his soft-ground form. Lost
At Sea didn't show a great deal after his break, while
Whale Beach followed his moderate run here last
month with a poor one here and looks one to be wary of at
present.
