 Front running tactics adopted from a high draw, are a good ploy to employ on this course and Daryll Holland carried them out to a tee on Kings Thought, who made every yard of the running and ran on gamely to keep his pursuers at bay in the final two furlongs. A keen-going sort, who enjoys cut in the ground, he will now be considered for the Zetland Gold Cup next Monday.
