Nortune chased leader, ridden along and slightly outpaced over 2f out, stayed on under pressure inside final furlong, ran green and edged left towards finish, kept on to lead near line

Prince Kalamoun prominent, headway 3f out, ridden to take slight lead well over 1f out, driven and edged right and left inside final furlong, headed and not quicken near line

Ace Of Spies tracked leaders, headway over 2f out, challenegd well over 1f out and every chance until ridden and one pace inside final furlong

Almost Married in rear, ridden along halfway, plugged on final 2f, never dangerous

Afton View led, ridden along 3f out, driven and headed well over 1f out, soon weakened

Bourse always towards rear

Binario Uno midfield, ridden along halfway, never a factor

Senora Lenorah always in rear

Amber May dwelt, headway into midfield halfway, ridden along 3f out and soon weakened

Ducal Damsel always outpaced and behind




Analyis of the race

This was potentially one of the most interesting races on the card and, though the first two in the market were both beaten, the winner NORTUNE is a lightly raced sort open to improvement. He finished lame on his only start as a juvenile after reportedly being pricked, but he showed what he was capable of here, keeping on against the far rails to get up close home. He looked green, so will improve though as the two he beat are both rated 72, he’ll go into handicaps with a mark somewhere in the upper 70s.

Prince Kalamoun travelled well and came to win his race a furlong out, but he wasn’t doing much in front and was collared near the line. He’ll win a race, but is proving expensive to follow.

These three were clear of Almost Married, who improved on his two runs as a juvenile and is now qualified for a handicap mark.

The 62-rated Afton View made the running but faded, and though Binario Uno was well backed, he raced keenly on his first run at this trip and finished well beaten.
