Passionately Royal midfield, ridden along 3f out and soon weakened

SHY GLANCE, who took a while to get off the mark last season, was well backed to make a winning reappearance. Ridden along early, he came through strongly in the closing stages, and despite hanging left, ran on to draw away in the last furlong. He seems an improved horse this year.
Sir Bond had been off since January, but has a fair record fresh, and ran a solid enough race having been up close to the pace all the way.
Fairy Monarch stuck on and improved on his run at Beverley two days earlier.
Spinning, rather like the winner, struggled to get off the mark last season, but shaped well enough on his reappearance.
