Analyis of the race

In contrast to the previous mile handicap they went a strong gallop here. That suited SPINNING, who came well off the pace to get up inside the final furlong. Having proved hard to win with for a long time, he's thriving for this was his fourth win in six starts, despite a rise of 14lb, and he left the impression he should continue to give a good account.

Yes Sir, whose two wins have been at further than a mile, wasn't at all inconvenienced by this drop back in trip. He travelled well just off the pace, led inside the last furlong but was just caught. This was only his sixth run on turf, and he ran well enough to suggest that he can pick up a race off this sort of mark.

Sounds Of Barra wasn't disgraced as he raced close to the strong gallop, and King Harson will find easier races than this after being taken on for the lead throughout.

Kabis Amigos set the strong gallop but dropped right out.
