He had shown his well-being when winning a banded race over a mile and six furlongs here last week and his trainer Mark Wellings was afraid that the step up in class would find him out. But the seven-year-old proved that he is in peak condition as he overcame trouble in running early in thestraight to stay on strongly for a hard-earned win.
Star Welcome, an encouraging fourth over an inadequate ten furlongs at Lingfield last time, was carried right by the hanging Iftikhar through the final furlong and could be counted a shade unlucky. Her turn should not be far off.
*Brian Reilly reported that Abbeygate was injured coming out of the stalls.
