The winner, who travelled strongly, seemed to benefit from being gelded during last season and ended the term as a progressive performer. He stepped up again here, but the winning margin he gainedlooks likely to make life difficult for him in future.
Benandonner travelled sweetly behind the leaders on the far side. He went to the front, on that side, approaching the final furlong and put stacks of daylight between himself and his pursuerson that part of the course. Unfortunately, for him, Don’t Panic proved superior, and, even more unfortunately, he will go up markedly in the ratings for this very creditable effort.
Zaahid, who was all the rage for the Lincoln, before being balloted out, had every chance here. He travelled nicely and looked to be on the verge of mounting a major challenge approaching the last two furlongs. But, when push came to shove he was found wanting and, with his head slightly to one side, he edged to his right inside the final furlong.
Regal Parade, having his first run for David Nicholls, ran respectably, while Skhilling Spirit was far from disgraced in sixth.
Of the others, Plum Pudding ran well for a long way. (TOR)
