The staple diet of this racecourse and these moderate horses as usual served up a rough race with scrimmaging as they hung and got in each other's way off a solid pace.

That scenario has always suited NAPOLETANO, who is best coming through beaten horses off a strong pace. He deserves plenty of credit for this ultimately comprehensive win as he was one of those denied a clear run against the heavily-populated inside rail and he had to switch wide to get daylight, giving what looked a winning lead to Support Fund. He needs everything to fall right for him but on this display this big horse can certainly win another race in this banding.

Support Fund beat the rest out of sight, kicking clear into the final furlong, showing he has plenty of pace for this drop back in trip. The handicapper left him alone for his good comeback run and he looks ready to strike.

Teen Ager and Magroom have excuses in that they were denied running room, most seriously Magroom, who looked ready to have a say but could not recover when finally switched off the inside rail.

Moon Forest was reported to have hung left downhill. Wiltshire was reported unsuited to the track.
