Stevie Thunder, whose victory last season had been gained in a Musselburgh seller, has clearly gone the right way over the winter and he made Jaser fight for his win. He finished clear of the rest and should soon be winning again.
Bookiebasher Babe, who has been in good form on the all-weather recently, translated that improved form to the turf but could not stay with the top two in the final furlong.
Looter was a springer in the market but ran very green, racing in snatches and never looking like getting in a blow. He could be a very different proposition when he learns what is required.
