Edinburgh Gin Cannonball Handicap
Saturday, 6 June 2026
Slightly slow — minor pace variance, nothing to read into.
“Walked to post - switched sharply right soon after start - held up in last - still plenty to do 3f out - soon rapid headway against far rail - ridden and led narrowly over 1f out - headed final 110yds - rallied and led again towards finish”
