2.10 Ayr
Underwriter seemed very good when profitable over course and distance on debut again in Might. Travelling strongly all through the race, he took the lead approaching the two-furlong pole and stored on properly to attain by two lengths. There was masses to love about that efficiency and two subsequent winners have come out of the race.
It’s no shock that connections determined to throw him right into a Royal Ascot Group 2 after that, though issues didn’t fairly go to plan. He was too eager and pale to complete final ultimately so the steep drop in grade will make an enormous distinction.
3.20 Newton Abbot
