The ground was on the quick side of good, but jockeys and trainers reported there was no jar in it, and there was a good cover of grass.

JOINEDUPWRITING had given notice that his turn was near at Ripon last time, running well, despite not looking totally at home on that undulating course. Here, on a flatter track and over an extra furlong, he came from off the pace to win readily. There may be more to come from this scopey, lightly raced gelding, who could turn out again at York on Sunday.

Willyn gave a much more encouraging display and was only outpointed late on. A similar event may come her way. Kinout, returning from a short break, ran a solid race, never being too far away and having every chance of winning from the distance.
