Storm Force tracked leader after 1f, led over 1f out, soon clear, very comfortably
Hold The Gold pulled hard early, tracked leaders, effort 2f out, went 2nd inside final furlong, no chance with winner
Turn Left held up in last trio, taken wide bend 2f out, shuffled along and ran on final furlong, took 3rd last stride
Asfurah´s Dream dwelt, pulled hard and tracked leading pair after 2f, outpaced over 1f out, one pace after
Penchesco held up behind leaders, outpaced well over 1f out, kept on one pace after
Greylami held up in midfield on inner, shuffled along and kept on from over 1f out, never near leaders
Storm Sir held up towards rear, not much room 2f out, not quicken and no progress over 1f out
Points Of View dwelt, held up in last and raced on outer, outpaced and no chance well over 1f out, kept on
Change Alley led after 100yds to over 1f out, weakened
Pretty Officer always in rear, weakened 2f out
Ella Junior led for 100yds, prominent until weakened rapidly 2f out
Up The Wycombe raced wide towards rear, weakened over 2f out
STORM FORCE won in pleasing fashion. He tracked the leader until taking it up over 1f out and then pulled well clear. His future - for the time being - looks to be in handicaps.
Hold The Gold came into this the most experienced of these. He pulled hard early on, before finishing to good effect. He should be able to win soon. Turn Left made eye-catching late headway on his debut. He should come on bundles for this experience. Asfurah's Dream was not without support in the betting ring. She was keen throughout the early stages but only lost third in the final strides.
Points Of View was slowly into stride. His future may well lie in the handicap sphere, where middle distances should suit him. Change Alley led until over 1f from home. After that point he was never a factor.
**Richard Quinn, the rider of Up The Wycombe, reported that the colt hung left-handed.
