What you need to know:

  • Pharoah's Advocate and King of Oxted, were similarly affected by that thought, drooping fifteen lengths further afloat.

Free Dawn sprinted away in the Fillies Guineas until reserves ran dry. All over Again (Richard Kibet) and Salt Lake (Paul Kiarie), then neck-necked until the wire, causing a cliff-hanging duel which All over Again almost forfeited, but came again with aplomb.

Pippa was on a different dimension. Owned by Mim Haynes and Carol Bremner, under the auspices of Patsy Sercombe, it was a happy race to see.

Silverstone Air (James Muhindi), juiced-up the Kenya Gold Cup George Drew Challenge Series winning post, modestly meticulous, wispy, and, refined, not having to deal with anyone except Fast Five.

His accustomed dancing partner, Western Ballad, cleverly refused to load. At eight-years-old, who wants to roam and gloam for two long miles?

There's none wiser than an elderly grey mare. Pharoah's Advocate and King of Oxted, were similarly affected by that thought, drooping fifteen lengths further afloat.

An ebullient Chicago (Lesley Sercombe), neutralised Inca Ruler and Romeo Foxtrot's advances in the Graham Trophy, with an aura of invincibility.

This is one horse who blossoms with each run. What an enchanter! Public Hero not so keen again.
