Hey Presto made all, hard driven from over 1f out, all out

Silver Blue in rear, not much room over 2f out and edged right, switched left and headway over 1f out, strong run inside final furlong, finished well, just failed

Club Captain chased leaders, ridden to go 2nd 2f out, stayed on under pressure to close on winner throughout final furlong but never quite going pace to get up

Only If I Laugh in touch, chased leaders on inside from 3f out, kept on inside final furlong but never going pace to challenge

Prince Valentine held up in rear, headway over 2f out, stayed on final furlong but never going pace to challenge

Analyis of the race

Most of these find winning extremely difficult, including HEY PRESTO, but he's a horse that needs to be kept fresh and, off the track for 68 days prior to this, he bounced out and made every yard. The return to this trip helped, although he was all out to hold on in the closing stages, and he posted his first success since 2005.

Silver Blue finished the strongest of those held up off the pace, appreciating the drop into this class to run a much more encouraging race, but he’s winless since 2005.
