Bayfirth prominent untll ridden and weakened over 3f out

High Meadow Rose behind, pushed along halfway, soon beaten, tailed off
Jardines Jack led 4f, struggling from halfway, tailed off
Loves Life in touch to halfway, soon weakened, virtually pulled up final 2f
BENTONS CHOICE had shaped well on his debut at Wetherby, and he confirmed that, going on after 4f and running on in good style. He's a massive horse with plenty ofscope and looks a real chasing sort.
Santo Stefano hasn't really progressed after his good debut run, and, though he tracked the leader, he couldn't quicken on the run up the hill. Better ground and an easier track might suit him better.
