Silver Rime made all, hard pressed from over 2f out, stayed on well and in command final furlong
Adversity tracked winner, effort to challenge over 2f out, pressed winner after until beaten off final furlong, just held on for 2nd
The Which Doctor slowly into stride, held up in midfield, ridden over 2f out, stayed on from over 1f out to take 3rd final furlong, nearest finish
Legislation chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, stayed on final furlong, never able to challenge
Bencoolen held up in midfield, lost place and in last trio halfway, nudged along and stayed on steadily final 2f, never near leaders, do better
Internationaldebut close up, chased leading pair over 3f out, ridden and no impression 2f out, faded final furlong
Sundowner held up in midfield, ridden over 2f out, no progress and beaten well over 1f out
My Shadow held up in rear, ridden well over 2f out, no real progress
Dusty Moon dwelt, held up in last and well adrift, pushed along 3f out, some progress on inner over 2f out, soon no headway
Mick´s Dancer prominent to 3f out, steadily weakened
Bonny Rose always well in rear, tailed off
Artsu saddle slipped and rapid progress on wide outside bend 6f out, weakened over 2f out, virtually pulled up
SILVER RIME put his race fitness to good use in making the running and seeing off allcomers up the straight on the driest ground he has encountered. He became the first winner this season to hug the stands side rail, which had looked disadvantaged in the eight previous races here this year.
Adversity, making his handicap and turf debut after his two all-weather maiden runs, ran well against a fitter rival and looks sure to make amends.
The Which Doctor, another all-weather maiden winner, did not get the clearest run halfway up the straight when angling for an opening, but he was finishing as well as anything in the final furlong to suggest he will make amends, seeing out this extra furlong well.
Bencoolen, another facing fitter rivals, took the eye as a future winner when stepping up in trip, as he could never quite land a blow but was staying on well under sympathetic handling.
Internationaldebut was anchored by his big weight but was far from disgraced.
Dusty Moon stuck at the back saw precious little daylight up the stands rail, and can buildon the bare form.
Artsu's run can be forgiven as he pulled hard and his saddle soon slipped to make him unsteerable around the home bend.
