SUMMARY
 GSG from GFG 2 days prior. No watering since Wed but rain since - No Details. Going Stick reading from 07:00am. Stiff ENE Wind = Three-Quarter Tailwind from the Right in the Straight.

Fahey on his SLife blog = "Tatlisu needs to put his York run behind him. Paul Hanagan thinks he hit the side of the stalls last time and he's quite a smart early season two-year-old who I like a lot. I'd like to see him bounce back and win and then we could maybe make plans to go to Ascot. He's got to win though for that to happen. If he jumps out and races properly he has a big chance."

Trainer Barron gets regular FTO wins and had his first of the season the previous day with his first win of the year after his two early runners have not proved as competitive as usual. Ahern an unusually expensive runner for the trainer and the owned by a Qatari company. The only one he has had which cost a similar amount since 2005 was for Qatar's Pearl Bloodstock in 2011. That was Pearl Secret who cost £90,000 as a 2yo and also won FTO which presumably means the trainer is now 2-2 with debuts for, what must be. important owners for him. Ahern very fit on debut and had looked a competent natural in his breeze without looking that fast but pesumably did a good time for the last 1F to make that amount. Green at the start here but givena 'Today' ride by jockey Gibbons to keep in touch as Satsuma & Rhagori Aur duelled in the lead. The more substantial Satsuma wore down the more lightly made RA. RA will presumably have Sires for Ground types saying she will do better on firmer going and on her action and the fac she is soing a lot on movement & not bulk that might be fair comment in this case.

Tatlisu blew the start at York LTO and as the quote above shows the connections were inclined to try to find a reason, or excuse, for it. Unwilling and mulish run in the race here and taking time to get going and never racing smoothly.

An unusual choice by trainer Coles to run All On Red here given what he said after he 6f win at NEWC LTO. There he mused on whether she had the pace for 5f and though he might try the National Stakes at uphill Sandown 5f to test things. Instead she turns up here on a flat & fast 5f track where they run 5f in anuthing from 2.5s upwards than they do at Sandown.
