Loads of likeable types on show in this useful handicap and there's no crabbing the make up of the frame, though the order can be, the second very unlucky not to win, Old Harrovian set far too much to do in a race where the pace was on the modest side. SALAMANCA was one of the least exposed in the field and improved further to resume winning ways making tapeta debut, much smarter from the stalls with his reappearance under his belt and duly able to dictate matters thereafter, hanging on despite wanting to lug left throughout the final 1f; made all, ridden 2f out, hung left 1f out, kept on, had the run of the race.
