Against our preview

Our best selection Nutcracker finished 7th, beaten 4.25 lengths ✗. Berning Hot, one of the others we flagged, finished 13th. Rainbow Sign, one of the others we flagged, finished 1st.

What stood out

  • The shortest-priced runner, Blue Collar Lad (3/1), finished 2nd.
  • Who Is Alice finished 3rd at 16/1 – a big price for a placed horse.
  • Rainbow Sign won off a mark of 47 (11th highest-rated of 14); the handicapper will usually raise that.
  • The winner's recent figures were 7343.
  • A tight finish – little separated the first two.

Note for next time

  • Who Is Alice – 3rd, beaten only 1 length at 16/1. Worth a look next time under similar conditions (7f, good).
  • Nutcracker – our pick, 7th here. Check whether the trip or good suited before siding with it again.
