Analyis of the race

MISARO won on slow ground as a two-year-old but his best form - to this point - had been shown on fast going. However, this emphatic all-the-way success matched his previous best performance and he has evidently never been better. He can expect another hike in the weights after this win, but may not be finished with yet.

Divine Spirit, a frustrating sort who has won just once since 2004 and whose career record reads four wins from 63 starts, found the pace a bit too hot before running on for acreditable second, but it remains to be seen whether he can now build on this performance.

Winthorpe, a 6f Wolverhampton winner last month, ran respectably, but he has not won a race on turf since 2003.

Richard Hughes reported that Musical Script had hung right throughout, while the vet reported that Avoca Dancer had lost a shoe.
