Montemayorprincess chased leaders, hung left throughout, ridden over 2f out, soon weakened
Kadia led 1f, chased leaders, ridden and weakened over 2f out, behind when hampered inside final furlong

Crow´s Nest Lad chased leaders, lost place over 4f out, ridden and weakened over 2f out
Murdoch chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, soon weakened
Al Rayanah often loses ground at the start and did so again this time. In the circumstances, she did well to come through for second, especially as she had to wait for a gap to open, but her style of running does lend itself to the risk of finding trouble in running - and a correspondingly low strike-rate.
Preskani, who has been running over shorter distances this season but is a winner over this course and distance, was given his head and ran his best race for some time, although he was left behind in the final furlong.
Montemayorprincess hung throughout, while both Newgate and Kadia met trouble approaching the home turn and can be assessed a little better than their finishing positions would suggest.
