Analyis of the race

This followed the middle-distance trend here in that there was a strong early pace but easing around the bend before the sprint home.

There was much to like about the win of BUSHMAN, who won cosily, only having to be shaken up to go clear in the final furlong after switching out midtrack to challenge. Connections were worried about his big weight, conceding 17lb to the three-year-old colts, but although this Godolphin cast-off has had his problems he looks to be growing out of them and he can go on to better things.

Woolfall Treasure stuck to the stands rail and kept on well for second, making a most promising reappearance. He saw out this longer trip well but the handicapper has taken no chances with his 90 rating.

French Riviera quickened up nicely initially early in the straight but he was run out of it before the final furlong on this seasonal reappearance from a stable that has started the season quietly.

Sarando suggested there may be better following this belated racecourse debut against wiser rivals. He threatened to take a hand going into thefinal 3f but got tired. He can step up on the bare form.

Dr Brass did not handle the home bend well in last on the inside rail and dropped to the back before putting in some strong late work to suggest better to come.
