Markedly slow — usually heavy ground or an attritional race.

In-running (Flying Ace (IRE))

Just behind the front pair, going kindly - elevated to second at 4th - closed on the leader after 3 out - put the race to bed 2 out - drew well clear on the flat - unchallenged

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Way Maker

Way Maker tops our figures and sets the standard: a dual bumper winner who took the step up to this sort of trip in his stride when second last time, he meets this field on terms our ratings favour. Flying Ace, a progressive type conceding weight all round, is the chief danger, with Jetbob interesting on his hurdling bow for new connections. Way Maker is the selection.
