White Shift made all, edged right briefly 2f out, held on gamely inside final furlong
The Dial House held up in touch, headway to chase winner just over 2f out, switched left well over 1f out, stayed on but never quite getting to winner
Barbee outpaced and pushed along, hung right bend well over 3f out, good headway 3f out, pressed leaders just over 2f out, beaten and eased inside final furlong
Twos And Eights dwelt, soon recovered to chased winner until just over 2f out, soon weakened
Ready To Prime very slowly into stride, always outpaced in rear
Lonsdale Lad chased leaders until weakened over 2f out, well behind when hung right over 1f out
WHITE SHIFT was seemingly unfancied in the betting but her stable has made a bright start to the season, especially with their two-year-olds, and she showed terrific natural pace to blast out and make all the running. She holds an entry in a valuable sales race in Ireland and can only go on from here, indeed her trainer said afterwards that he had left plenty to work on fitness wise.
Barbee ran well on her debut, making good headway wide before staying on down the middle of the track. She shaped as though she would improve for this experience.
Twos And Eights didn't see out his race yetagain, having tracked the pace.
