The Flat-bred Kings Story was making his both his selling and his handicap debut after just the mandatory three runs, but connections were worried that he would not enjoy the ground. He made headway from the rear down the far side and went after the winner on the home turn and took a clear second rounding the home turn. He never got within striking distance but might be worth another chance off this sort of mark on better ground.
*Philip Hide reported that War Pennant was unsuited by the going.
