It would be unwise to read too much into what happened here, as the ground really took its toll with the field massively strung out at the finish.

DON'T PANIC ran out a wide-margin winner under Kerrin McEvoy, who plotted a course wide of the rest up the centre of the track. However, whatever course he might have taken would probably have resulted in victory, as the winner was well on top entering the final furlong and duly followed up his his September course and distance success. A mile seems to suit Don't Panic better than seven furlongs, and he is versatile with regards the ground, but he could be in trouble if the handicapper assesses what happened here literally.

Crocodile Bay got back into the winner's enclosure at Newcastle earlier in the month and, despite racing off a 7lb higher mark here, clearly had a big chance. He was brought towards the stands' side and saw no daylight at a crucial stage but, in truth, was beaten fair and square.

The relatively lightly raced Vainglory ran a decent race, as did the top weight Orchard Supreme, but he would surely have been better suited by quicker underfoot conditions.

Tudor Prince ran okay on his first start for a new stable, finishing a long way clear of Archiestown and everything else, including recent winners Blue Java and Namid Reprobate, who both flopped.
