Respectable effort to finish fourth with blinkers reapplied over C&D 16 days ago on first run for current trainer; still seeking a first success after 14 starts; the only mare in the race; easy enough to take on

Verdict

Remains Of The Day has been stacking up the good efforts but PURSUIT OF FAME is a strong fancy. Summer Shade has seen his limitations exposed, and Johnny Appleseed holds claims if his latest performance can be forgiven.
