My Kaiser Chief held up in rear, not much room on stands' rail halfway, switched left and headway well over 1f out, ridden and stayed on to lead well inside final furlong

Rio Sands always prominent, ridden to lead 2f out, driven over 1f out, headed and no extra well inside final furlong

Everything went left start and behind, pushed along halfway, switched right and headway well over 1f out, ridden and stayed on strongly inside final furlong

Castlebury midfield, headway 2f out, ridden to chase leaders over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong

Leonid Glow slowly into stride and towards rear, headway halfway, switched towards outer and chance well over 1f out, soon ridden and weakened entering final furlong

Pay Parade midfield, good headway to chase leaders well over 1f out, ridden and hung left entering final furlong, soon one pace

Tangerine Trees tracked leaders on stands' rail, effort over 2f out, soon ridden and no impression approaching final furlong

Analyis of the race

Probably not the strongest of sprint maidens as the winner is rated 62 and the second 64. Fourth in a couple of juvenile maidens over 5f here last term, but rather disappointing on the all-weather, the winner MY KAISER CHIEF came back to form over this longer trip with the help of a high draw. Checked in his run at halfway, he picked up well in the last 2f and ran out a decisive winner. He's unexposed at this trip and hasn't had a great deal of turf racing, so might progress a little.

Rio Sands wasn't as well drawn as the winner, but showed up most of the way and may find a similar race. Everything, rated 70, is also pretty exposed, but he had the worth of the draw here, and ran on well in the final furlong to take third. He's had plenty of chances, but has the ability to win a race.

The saddle slipped on Meathop.
