continues to go the right way, now 3 from his last 4, as expected having no trouble with the longer trip but showing just why connections reached for headgear last time, needing plenty of stoking up to get the front and then appearing to pull himself up once there; chased leaders, pushed along over 4f out, challenged 2f out, edged ahead final 1f, idled, just held on; this guarantees him a run in the Ebor itself and he won't be one to dismiss lightly there.

A well-contested handicap that went the way of the market leader, but that doesn't tell the whole story, that one forced to pull out all the stops having been caught flat-footed when the pace increased around 4f out.
