Led main group centre, ridden and headed over 1f out, kept on under pressure inside final furlong, carried left and held towards finish op 11/4 tchd 2/1
Christmas Night (9/4), Laubali (5/2), Faithful Promise (3/1), Tiger Lyon (8/1), Qaaraat (10/1), Finsbury Park (12/1)
A couple of these have changed hands at the July sales and need monitoring in the market, notably Ayr runner-up Faithful Promise, but perhaps the safest option is LAUBALI, who belatedly shed his maiden status at Wolverhampton last week, and may be able to build on that now that he's clicked. Qaaraat hasn't fired this year, but still fetcehd 28,000 gns at the sales, and isn't one to write off prematurely.
