Looking ahead
What we learned / things to watch
The six beaten horses did not all follow the same pattern: some weakened late, Turpin never got involved, and Hudson unseated after a mistake. The running comments add useful context beyond the finishing position.
Start Again was the only picked horse to win. In a four-runner chase he led from before the 10th and pulled clear after a challenge at the last, a reminder to check how a horse responds under pressure as well as its recent form.
