Key Trends
Other Factors
Seven winners were undefeated. Buratino, who won in 2015, had been beaten twice over 5f but was undefeated over 6f.
The market had usually been a strong indicator but three of the last six winners were priced in at least double figures.
RIVER TIBER, winner of his first two starts, posting three-figure RPRs both times, looked sure to appreciate the step up to 6f. He travelled well just off the lead on the far side and ran on well to score, justifying strong confidence in him beforehand. Army Ethos ran a cracker in second for the same connections as last year’s Coventry winner. Bucanero Fuerte ran credibly in third on ground likely too quick for him. Givemethebeatboys was sold for 1,100,000GBP on the eve of the meeting but only managed fourth.
