who had done well over jumps since joining this yard, came out on top back on the Flat over this 4f longer trip after 6 weeks off and the bare winning margin doesn't really do him justice given he was always going well and met some trouble; mid-field, travelled well, headway 2f out, not clear run over 1f out, stayed on to lead well inside final 1f, driven out; unexposed at trip and will remain of interest.

A fairly useful handicap which was won in better style than the bare margin suggests by one having his first start on the Flat for Philip Kirby and the others in the frame give some substance to the result, too, so the form looks solid, though the pace was only modest. PASS MUSTER who had done well over jumps since joining this yard, came out on top back on the Flat over this 4f longer trip after 6 weeks off and the bare winning margin doesn't really do him justice given he was always going well and met some trouble; mid-field, travelled well, headway 2f out, not clear run over 1f out, stayed on to lead well inside final 1f, driven out; unexposed at trip and will remain of interest.
