Snowberry Hill, well beaten on turf last time, showed his appreciation of this return to the all-weather but - as he had done when fourth here last month - gave his race away by hanging in the straight.
Archimboldo failed to last home but still ran his best race for quite some time.
King's Fable was just starting to make his move when he was stopped on the home turn. He could never recover and this defeat is best ignored.
