The John Pearce Racing Gordon Stakes looks a breeze for WEST WIND BLOWS (3.00) on Thursday.
Simon and Ed Crisford’s runner has only been beaten once in four starts and that came in the Derby. Although he finished in midfield at Epsom, he didn’t run at all badly.
He was caught a bit too wide early on and he also sat closer to the strong pace than ideal. It was no surprise to see him weaken in the closing stages but he lasted longer than he was entitled to.
