First Buddy made all, quickened clear 2f out, unchallenged
Moheebb in touch, headway 3f out, ridden to chase winner well over 1f out, soon driven and no impression
Prince Samos held up towards rear, headway well over 2f out, soon ridden and kept on same pace
Mystical Ayr tracked leaders, ridden and headway to chase winner well over 2f out, soon driven and one pace
Chicken George held up towards rear, headway 3f out, ridden along over 2f out and soon no impression
Regent´s Secret steadied start, held up and behind until some headway final 2f, never a factor
Wilmington chased winner, ridden along over 3f out and soon weakened
Bed Fellow chased leaders, ridden along 3f out, soon driven and weakened
Trimlestown steadied start, always in rear
Moheeb chased the winner from two furlongs out but might as well have been chasing shadows. This was however much better than his recent dismal run and he seemed a lot happier.
Regent's Secret didn't have his customary cheekpieces on and wasn't knocked about on this seasonal comeback. He's one to keep an eye on when racing on a stiffer track with headgear refitted.
