Co-trainer Mr P Snowden stated King Of War raced keenly early, however, it was his intention now to spell the colt.
Freeze The Charges (Race 8) – knuckled badly on jumping away. When questioned concerning Freeze The Charges weakening quickly over the latter stages, App. W Costin stated the mare does not run out a strong 1100m and appears to be a horse that, when challenged, does not give a lot.
