| We then get into the long tail of runners who are unlikely,
or worse, to compete for the places. Musical Bridge cost a
decent amount and has an ok 2yo pedigree but the trainer has no track record.
One that might surprise a little but more one to judge on the day than
to expect a lot from.

| The preview for the race noted that trainer L. Williamson
didn't have a record with 2yos and missed the point that her first runner
of the season had managed to finish third, albeit an uncompetitive one
in a weak race behind the front two. Her Musical Bridge was backed
from 33/1 to 8/1 and the support proved well judged despite the narrow
defeat. On paddock review he scored well enough for build and was one of
the fittest in the group. On the downside he was one of the shorter runners
and he slouched around the ring (where there were a lot of jig-joggers)
not looking that athletic. But, the jockey was fully on-board with what
was required and had him attending the pace early and he went on inside
the final furlong. He was 'mugged' by April Pride in that she challenged
him late and he did respond having already seen off the rest of the pace
in Kingswinford & Lagan Handout. A solid effort and some improvement
left.

| Musical Bridge achieved a lot less than looked the
case at Bath FTO and didn't look a better type and shouldn't be good enough
here.
