A brave effort....

Smile for Us did us proud with a brave front running effort from his wide draw. Attempting to make all from his draw in 9 of 12 he used a lot of energy to get the inside rail. He was only out-pointed towards the final furlong by the well-backed favourite Danetime Lord. At 16/1 he ran above market expectations, finishing 4 lengths clear of the the third horse he can win in this grade when getting a softer lead and better draw.

Trombone Tom travelled well for most of the race but was squeezed for room approaching the final bend and got slightly outpaced by the front two. He stayed on one-pace to finish 6th of the 12 runners, a disappointing effort considering his SP of 4/1.

Danetime Lord responded well to a positive ride and isn't as quirky as first thought. This was a nice effort - he benefitted from the strong pace and inside draw.

Current Profit/Loss: -£3.00
