b g Dansili - Loulwa (IRE) (Montjeu)
Mostly in 5th, shaken up and no progress over 2f out, never a factor (trainer was asked why he was running the gelding here having previously reported the gelding was unsuited by the undulations of the track. he said the gelding's last run here was its second on turf since august 2017 and he wished to give the gelding another chance on his local track. he added that with hindsight the gelding may have been unsuited by being ridden too close to the pace last time and this time would be ridden more patiently)
