Marmooq in rear, still last and plenty to do over 2f out, rapid headway over 1f out, strong run inside final furlong to lead last stride
Regal Royale driven to lead start, ridden over 2f out, headed over 1f out, rallied inside final furlong and led near finish, caught last stride
Davids Mark chased leaders, ridden to lead over 1f out, headed close home
High Reach chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, stayed on well throughout final furlong and challenged last stride, just failed
Mulberry Lad in rear, headway over 1f out, stayed on well final furlong, going on close home
Razzano in rear, headway over 1f out, finished well but not reach leaders
Piccostar chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, weakened final furlong
Desert Light outpaced, ridden and some progress from over 1f out
Fervent always outpaced
Suhayl Star always towards rear
Calloff The Search chased leaders, ridden, hung right and weakened 2f out
Ace Club chased leaders over 3f
Regal Royale set a strong enough gallop and the winner, who was dropped in from his wide gate, was still last turning for home, but he really took off after the two-furlong pole and got there in the nick of time. He usually races over 7f, but appreciated the strong gallop to this contest and he’s a reliable type around here.
High Reach kept on at the one pace and ran well enough given that these conditions are plenty quick enough for him.
Mulberry Lad put behind him some poor runs, staying on in the closing stages and not being beaten far.
