Carry On Cleo always prominent, ridden and went 2nd well over 1f out, ran on under pressure to lead last strides
Bridge Of Fermoy chased leader, led over 3f out, clear well over 1f out, ridden and edged left just inside final furlong, caught last strides
Mujahope took keen hold in rear, switched right 2f out, ridden and headway over 1f out, ran on inside final furlong
Coole Dodger slowly into stride, took keen hold, headway over 5f out, hung right from over 3f out, ran very wide entering straight, no danger after
Ledgerwood set steady pace, headed over 3f out, ridden over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
Secret Meaning awkward leaving stalls, held up, pushed along over 3f out, behind final 2f
Bridge Of Fermoy looked all over the winner when easing into a three-length lead early in the straight, and his rider George Baker was looking round for dangers approaching the furlong mark. Carry On Cleo's progress quickly made Baker realise he had a battle on his hands, and Bridge Of Fermoy found himself run out of it close home. This was his second successive odds-on defeat.
Coole Dodger, having his first run since leaving Brendan Powell, lost all chance by hanging badly right on the home turn and does not look straightforward.
