Bayshore Freeway produced a b a t t l i n g p e r f o r m a n c e t o l a n d t h e f e a t u r e e ve n t a t a sunbathed Musselburgh yesterday afternoon.

Partnered by P J Mcdonald, the well-backed 11-10 favouri t e r a l l i e d s p l e n d i d l y to s e e off Theglasgowwarrior by a length in the Racing Welfare # m e n t a l h e a l t h a w a r e n e s s - week Goliath Cup Handicap over 1m 6f.

I t was t h e f i f t h wi n o f h e r short career and Mcdonald, who went on to complete a 103-1 treble on Cap e Victor y and Rock N’stones, said: “She stays well and is super game. This time last year she hadn’t e ve n ma d e h e r r a c e c o u r s e debut and she loves the game.”

After taking 31 races to lose his maiden tag, Colour Contrast followed up over course and distance by three and a half lengths in division one of the #bebodykind Handicap for trainer Iain Jardine and jockey Jamie Gormley.

Jardine said: “He has seemed a different horse at home since h i s wi n a n d h e’s r e a l l y j u s t come to himself. He may have been suffering from growing pains but he’s done it very well today.”

Katie S cott’s Robbin R ainb ow, ridden by Ja so n Har t, fo rc ed a d e a d h e a t wi t h Mi Capricho and S ean Davis in the second division.

It took judge Fraser Perratt some ten minutes to decide that he not could separate the two Scottish-trained runners.

Mi Capricho’s handler Keith Dalgleish enjoyed a fruitful afterno on as he also struck w i t h w i t h Ja c o b B l a c k a n d Northern Society.

At Chepstow, Panatos, who opened his account at the 16th attempt, can no waste no time in registering a second career triumph.

He made his debut a month later for Alex Dunn and, following two fair efforts at S outhwell, went to Chep - stow and to ok to the Welsh venue to finally get his head in front.

It is no easy feat making all the running over t wo miles, but Panatos did just that – and in style, too, as he stuck to his task admirably to get the verdict by two lengths from Three Star General.

Panatos now goes for the BJ Llewellyn Supports tenovuscancercare.org.uk Handicap, having only been raised 3lb.

Les Eyre’s six-year- old has won twice from eight attempts and had several other decent attempts. He should be ready to strike after having had the dust blown away with a run at Doncaster six weeks ago.
