Silver Spruce slowly into stride and reminder after start, soon midfield, hampered halfway, progress 4f out, ridden to lead over 2f out, kept on well

King Supreme prominent, ridden over 3f out, not quicken over 2f out, stayed on under pressure to take 2nd near finish

Carry On Cleo held up well in rear, progress over 3f out, challenged over 2f out, held inside final furlong, lost 2nd near finish

Agglestone Rock held up, pulled way through bend halfway, came wide in straight and well on terms 2f out, one pace final furlong

Landikhaya held up in last, ridden 3f out, kept on under pressure final 2f, never reached leaders

Sergeant Sharpe held up in rear, progress on wide outside 3f out, close enough 2f out, weakened over 1f out

Bon Ton Roulet dwelt, held up in rear, going well enough 4f out, effort 3f out, soon driven and no progress

Didana led to over 2f out, weakened rapidly

Border Defence took keen hold, mostly chased leader to 3f out, weakened rapidly, tailed off

Una Auroraborealis took keen hold, prominent to halfway, weakened rapidly soon after, tailed off

Herrbee in touch when saddle slipped and ran wide bend halfway, soon pulled up

This was notable for a ragged early pace, with Didana shoved along, but as often happens, the brakes went on as they went into the tight home bend, leading to some interference and runners taking a grip suddenly.

SILVER SPRUCE was worst affected in the scrimmaging in the pack but still emerged a ready winner on this racecourse debut. He looked to idle in front with the race won before the final furlong and there should be improvement to come, so it will be interesting to see how the handicapper reacts to the bare beating of two low-grade performers.

King Supreme saw out the trip better than last time on this return to turf, but could not put his all-weather fitness to advantage, which is worrying for the summer.

Agglestone Rock was held up and was one of those to take against the slowing of the pace and has done well to plug on for fourth.

Herrbee's saddle slipped, racing into the loop at the bottom of the course and he was pulled up.

Didana failed this new stamina test under a most positive ride. She can prove the form wrong back in trip on a sounder surface.
