Very Wise held up in touch, ridden over 1f out, stayed on under pressure to lead near finish
Atlantic Quest soon led, ridden and edged right over 1f out, hung left inside final furlong, headed near finish
Gifted Gamble chased leader, ridden and hung right over 1f out, every chance inside final furlong, stayed on
Jimmy The Guesser chased leaders, ridden and hung left from over 1f out, stayed on
Primo Way held up, ridden over 2f out, not trouble leaders
Tender The Great slowly into stride, held up, ridden over 2f out, never dangerous
VERY WISE is a lightly raced four-year-old, and was reappearing after a break since July, but ridden from off the slow pace, he got up in the last few strides to win driven out. He'll be kept going on the all-weather, and as he may prove better than this, and shouldn't go up much for this narrow success, he should be worth following.
Gifted Gamble had every chance, challenging the leader from the home turn but not looking that straightforward.
Jimmy The Guesser challenged wide comingoff the bend, but though not disgraced, he might prove better at shorter.
