Lord Shanakill chased leaders on outer, ridden and edged left over 1f out, kept on under pressure inside final furlong
Majuba slowly into stride and behind, switched right after 1f, smooth headway to track leaders over 2f out, switched left and ridden to challenge over 1f out, weakened entering final furlong
Tagula Sunset slowly into stride and behind, headway well over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, nearest finish
Saxford close up, ridden along 2f out, weakened over 1f out
Pokfulham soon outpaced and behind
Oriental Rose prominent, ridden along after 1f, soon lost place and behind
Marygate close up, ridden along 2f out, soon weakened
There were three previous winners in the line-up and victory went to Southwell all-weather winner BAHAMIAN BABE, who was well drawn, and made all. Although clear a furlong out, she hung left towards the centre of the track and only just held on. She'll face stiffer tasks from now on.
Gone Hunting, who had won at Lingfield on his second start, stuck on well to take second and on this evidence will get another further.
Marygate showed early speed, but faded.
