Senor Set awkward leaving stalls and slowly away, always behind, lost touch 4f out, tailed off and virtually pulled up final furlong
Djalalabad soon led, headed 6f out, chased leader until over 3f out, soon dropped out, virtually pulled up final furlong, tailed off
Bahhmirage chased leaders on inner, ridden over 3f out, weakened over 2f out, virtually pulled up final furlong, tailed off

Reportedly very backward so far, Paul d'Arcy's 4yo has only recently started to come to himself and he already needs a mile and a half. Connections are toying with the idea of sending him hurdling.
Kings Topic came very wide around the field into the straight, but he was always travelling well and he too picked up strongly mid-track. He's more consistent than most of these and deserves to find a race soon.
Bienheureux needs a stiffer test than this, so he ran encouragingly, staying on well, while Tabulate made good headway wide but spoilt his effort by hanging left in the straight.
