Liberation Spirit, from the Jeremy Noseda team that had introduced Fanjura, ran a cracking race on his first visit to the racecourse, and he is another for whom a bright future beckons. He broke well from his wide stall and was soon tucked in behind the leaders. He didn't have the clearest of passages approaching the final two furlongs, although it didn't make any difference to the result. He kept on well in the closing stages and will prove hard to beat next time.
Closertobelieving ran a promising race and moved out of mid-division to have a chance well over a furlong out. He can improve further.
La Sarrazine was another eyecatcher, as she was steadied at the start and dropped out but made steady headway without being asked a serious question. She can leave this effort behind next time and is another who could well give this race a handsome look in due course.
