Raincoat chased leader, ridden to lead 2f out, edged right over 1f out, held on well final furlong
Dunaskin led to 2f out, soon driven, kept on well to take 2nd near finish
Wing Collar held up in last but in touch, driven over 3f out, rallied to chase winner inside final furlong, lost 2nd near finish
Greek Envoy prominent, hung right from over 3f out, effort when not clear run over 2f out, switched left and kept on final furlong
Heron Bay chased leaders, effort over 2f out, edged right and weakened over 1f out, eased when beaten inside final furlong
Dunaskin rallied gamely in the closing stages and his new connections will place him to advantage.
Wing Collar made a pleasing return and over another half mile and with the cheekpieces back on he will be one to note.
The small field may not have suited Heron but he is still seeking the sort of form which brought him success in the King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot last year.
