Granary kept on in the closing stages, but never really looked like getting to the winner.
Prince Egor, carrying 2lb overweight, made up a deal of ground in the straight, and, having run well first time, a similar race should be awaiting him.
Young Bertie had every chance, but had no more to offer inside the last. However it was a decent first run of the term.
Distant Pleasure was nearest at the finish and again there should be more to come as she was having her first run of the campaign.
San Antonio, three times a winner here, has not won for nearly three years, but he did enough to suggest that he is still capable of putting matters right.
