Both the market leaders were held up off the early pace but Andrew McNamara made his move first as the race unwound; it proved the correct decision as he was in a better position than Ruby when leader Tharawaat took a tired fall at the last. Jumbo Rio had four lengths over the favourite at the line.<br />The Morning Line informed us that Gan Amhras was a best-priced 14/1 first thing; if you backed the selection, I hope you managed to get a decent each-way price as he was only 15/2 at the off. The horse ran prominently throughout and just held Rip Van Winkle for third spot - there is surely more to come from that one - without ever threatening to trouble Sea The Stars and Delegator. The front two had a decent tussle from the two furlong marker with the winner staying up the hill the better. This was a decent performance from John Oxx's charge who had a setback mid-March; he has been installed the new favourite for the Epsom Derby - Skybet go 9/2, Ladbrokes 5/2!GeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834633278297488704noreply@blogger.com
