The winner was not scoring out of turn, while Ganache deserves some credit, too, and might be interesting if dropped into a weak handicap before he is reassessed.
Hills Place, off the track since failing to stay 1m2f at Brighton way back in April, was doing good work at the finish and might have possibilities in similarly weak company over this distance or a little further.
Raise Again, who had been up there all of the way, just shaded fourth aheadof recent winner Vintage, who was beaten by pulling too hard as much as by the penalty he had to carry.
Jean Pierre Guillambert reported that Grey Gurkha had a breathing problem.
