Rimsky Korsakov ran in snatches throughout. He responded to pressure to pick up from the second-last and kept on well to keep the winner right up to the mark towards the finish.
Caged Tiger, back over hurdles, travelled smoothly through the race, but he didn’t gethome quite as strongly as the principals from the second-last.
The first four finished well clear of the remainder, headed by Nessen Dorma, who was firmly put in his place from the home turn.
