In-running (Getaway Vic (IRE))
“Sent clear early but wandered right over first two obstacles - dropped to second and shadowed pacesetter before third then ballooned right again bumping opponent - travelling strongly three out - driven into front two out - edging clear and holding sway despite a mistake at the last - finished off strongly to score”

Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Maggies Boy
Maggies Boy holds strong claims in this Class 5 staying contest at Sedgefield, where his progressive profile and proven ability on good ground give him an edge that the bare ratings do not fully capture, with the top-rated Getaway Vic narrowly ahead on figures but perhaps less well-suited to conditions. Jeteye and Jo Arengeot Bey AA are also respected in a field of seven, and the confidence here is modest given the competitive nature of the contest. Maggies Boy is the selection.
