Van Bossed tracked leaders, led over 2f out, driven out final furlong
Baldemar in touch, driven and outpaced over 2f out, rallied to chase winner inside final furlong, kept on
Tawzeea close up going well, every chance over 2f out, soon ridden, no extra over 1f out
Mister Hardy behind and pushed along stands' side, headway on outside 2f out, kept on final furlong, nearest finish
Lord Sandicliffe behind and soon niggled along, headway and edged right over 1f out, nearest finish
Anosti raced alone far side, ridden over 2f out, not pace of stands' side leaders
Flight Plan soon niggled towards rear, edged right over 2f out, never dangerous
Captain Dunne held up, pushed along 2f out, not pace to challenge
Cristal Clear carried right start, soon tacked over to join main stands' side group, towards rear, driven halfway, never on terms
Bespoke Boy led to over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
Fyodorovich went right start, raced on outside of stands' side group, hung right and weakened from halfway
Style Award close up until ridden and weakened from 2f out
VAN BOSSED is in great heart at present and, despite being raised 9lb for a win here last week, he showed a splendid turn to foot to lead over two out and quickly settle matters.
Baldemar could not get a blow at the winner, but he kept on well and this was a pleasing seasonal return.
Tawzeea travelled well but then kept on at only one pace when it mattered. It is difficult to nominate a trip for him at present.
Mister Hardy was another who could not match the speed of the winner, but he kept on and maybe he would be suited by a bit further.
Anosti raced alone on the far side and was soundly beaten in the end. She is better than this form and it will be interesting to see if she reverts to five furlongs next time.
Flight Plan seems better on faster ground over a furlong further.
Captain Dunne is better suited by quicker ground while Cristal Clear's run can be forgotten. He was carried badly right at the start and then when tacking back over to the stands' side could not get into it.
