A Listed race that ranked at least a class above, given the competitive nature of the field, was run at just a fair gallop and resulted in a 1-2 for Peter Chapple-Hyam, courtesy of MEDICINE PATH and Don't Panic.

The winner, previously trained by Eoghan O’Neill, and a new recruit to the Chapple-Hyam yard, was given a masterly ride by Jamie Spencer, who produced him inside the final furlong to nail Don’t Panic. Tending to idle in front, the winner scored with slightly more in hand than the margin might suggest. Rated 110, he looks particularly well suited by this trip and with cut in the ground. The Sandown Mile is his next assignment.

Don’t Panic, rated 92 when he ran away with the Spring Mile over the straight 1m on this course three weeks ago, has since been raised 12lb by the handicapper. He obviously faced a much stiffer task on this occasion and ran a highly creditable race in second, proving himself to be a progressive horse.

Babodana, third in the Lincoln, ran another sound race to occupy the same slot in this stronger contest.

Blythe Knight, runner-up in the Lincoln, travelled well and looked sure to take a hand inside the final two furlongs, but he was unable to raise his game sufficiently when push came to shove.

The remainder were comfortably held. Tell faded when the race began in earnest, Smart Enough finished well behind on his seasonal reappearance, with Dubai’s Touch even further behind, while there appeared to be something amiss with Re Barolo, who was tailed-off.
