. . AND THE ONES WHO GOT IT WRONG; EXPERT WITNESS.

Cape Amber

Peter Chapple-Hyam Last of nine, Ribblesdale For the second time in a fortnight, she fought for her head with undue tenacity.

Kensington Oval

Sir Michael Stoute Fourteenth, Hampton Court Never threatened after a slovenly start, so backers on the day - they sent him off 4-1 favourite - were severely disappointed, but it was eyecatching in the extreme that this very hot contest was chosen as the target for this once-raced maiden winner, and that stable jockey Ryan Moore seemingly chose him ahead of Dr Faustus. Despite this failure to step up in class, the chances are that he remains one to note.

Kitty Matcham

Aidan O'Brien Eighth, Ribblesdale "She has tons of ability, although she hasn't shown it so far this year," said O'Brien beforehand. One half of that statement was again corroborated.

Makaaseb

Michael Jarvis Twelfth, Sandringham Judged on earlier reports, the ground and tactics should have suited her better than previously, and cheekpieces were thrown in for good measure. New excuse needed.

Sakhee's Secret

Hughie Morrison Last of 17, Golden Jubilee Stakes Twice disappointing in three starts since his magnificent ratings-topping success in last year's July Cup, with watered ground blamed on both occasions. His reappearance suggested that the ability was intact. Backers will presumably tread as carefully as he does if there is a hint of precipitation shortly before he runs next.

Tuscan Evening

John Joseph Murphy Ninth, Coronation Stakes In the Irish 1,000 Guineas, she arguably travelled best of all and was unlucky not to run out a narrow winner. Where did that come from? On firm ground again, the Coronation Stakes provided no answer, with the sceptical betting public getting it spoton when they sent her off among the outsiders at 25-1.
