Amazingly this was run in an identical time to the first division and it produced an equally impressive winner in SPRING GODDESS who bolted up. Travelling strongly in midfield, Richard Hughes was forced to switch his mount out to the middle of the track but once in the clear she quickened in real style to skip clear in the final furlong. This represented a return to form after a series of below-par displays but conditions were ideal and she had dropped to a career low mark. She has to be of serious interest if turned out under the penalty.

Hucking Heat looked in real trouble at the back, hard ridden before the home turn but somehow he picked up strongly once straightened up for home to stay on past everything except the winner.

Hanbrin Bhoy and Binnion Bay stayed on from off the pace in the closing stages but the former is much less exposed on the Flat and his only previous win had come on this surface. This represented a return to form following somepoor efforts on turf and he's one to keep a close eye on on this surface as he's open to further improvement.

Im Ova Ere Dad made good headway to join front rank early in the straight before keeping on at one pace.
