In-running (Private Larry (IRE))
“Slow to stride and well detached early - made ground from 4f out - strong move wide over 2f out, third at that point - took the lead 1 1/2f out - pulled clear in the final furlong - stayed on strongly”

Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sir Trancealot
Sir Trancealot is among the more unexposed runners in this 12-furlong field, having gone close on his handicap debut when arguably ridden too aggressively early; handled more patiently, there is more to come. Rising Sky, rated equally on our figures, is the chief threat if she can translate her near-miss of nine days ago to this longer trip, while Eastern Wind's consistency and Without Love's profile fresh from a lengthy break both add up to a competitive race. Sir Trancealot is our selection.
