In-running (Eben Zaabeel (GB))
“Held a central position early - fighting for its head - awkward at the second - up with the front group by halfway - third turning for home before improving into second in good order entering the straight - asked for effort and hit the front inside the final furlong - kept finding more to the line - winner in a canter”
