Barney McGrew tracked leaders, effort towards inner well over 1f out, shaken up and led 150yds out, readily

Capricorn Run dwelt, driven to recover on inside but only reached midfield, effort 2f out, ran on final furlong to take 2nd near finish, not reach winner

Bertoliver tracked leaders on outer, progress to lead over 1f out going strongly, headed 150yds out, finished weakly

Dingaan dwelt, held up in rear, progress on outer over 1f out, ran on inside final furlong, nearest finish

Efistorm settled in last trio, ridden 2f out, no progress until stayed on well last 150yds, no chance

Lady Lily prominent, tracked leader 3f out, led 2f out, headed over 1f out, weakened rapidly inside final furlong

China Cherub driven in last pair after 1f, never a factor, kept on final furlong

Sand Cat snatched up after 1f, never on terms with leaders, no impression over 1f out

Grand Show chased leaders, ridden 2f out, no impression, weakened final furlong

Mr Lambros with leader, led 4f out to 2f out, weakened rapidly just over 1f out

Buy On The Red led for 2f, under pressure and losing place soon after halfway, eased when no chance final furlong

Moonlight Man outpaced and always in last pair

A competitive handicap featuring plenty of old favourites, with eight out of the 12 rated within 3lb of the top-weight Mr Lambros.

BARNEY MCGREW had been running in better company than this recently, and put in another solid effort on his return to the Polytrack. He was full of running at the line, and could have won this by further if asked.

Capricorn Run did his chances no favours when jumping away slowly. He was given a vigorous ride to get closest nearest at the line. He is suited to this surface and may well be a factor in one of these soon should he get a bit of luck.

Bertoliver took it up over 1f out. He again showed that this trip is beyond him. Dingaan showed a tendency to hang in behind Grand Show at the top of the straight. He got going late on, but he is not the easiest of individuals to get to the bottom of.
