was found a good opportunity, exploiting a less competitive race in the North, but still improved further to follow up Ludlow win from a 9 lb higher mark, value for a bit more than the winning margin; held up, travelled strongly, tracked pace thirteenth, led 3 out, quickened clear and was just kept up to work; it's been a good start to his chasing career but he'll almost certainly find life tougher next time as it's unlikely he'll be found a race lacking the depth that this did.

after 10 weeks off, again ran well to finish second to another progressive sort and will hopefully find this aiding his development as a chaser; in rear, jumped none too fluently, smooth headway fourteenth, hit next, kept on, no match for winner; remains open to improvement but needs to sort his jumping out if he's to fulfil his potential.

won an uncompetitive race at Wetherby and ran creditably from a 5 lb higher mark in a better race here, though again didn't appear to be helping his rider in the latter stages; chased leaders, not always fluent, upsides eleventh, ridden before 4 out, held after 3 out, one paced (carried head awkwardly); may benefit from stronger handling.

A pair of lightly-raced novices filled the first two positions but, for a 0-140 event, this was anything but competitive and the Southern-raider Royal Player, who was the only one even close to the ceiling rating for the race, was simply a class apart. ROYAL PLAYER was found a good opportunity, exploiting a less competitive race in the North, but still improved further to follow up Ludlow win from a 9 lb higher mark, value for a bit more than the winning margin; held up, travelled strongly, tracked pace thirteenth, led 3 out, quickened clear and was just kept up to work; it's been a good start to his chasing career but he'll almost certainly find life tougher next time as it's unlikely he'll be found a race lacking the depth that this did.
