Masaalek chased leaders, went 2nd over 4f out, pushed into lead over 1f out, soon in command, easily
Connor´s Choice soon led, steadied pace over 4f out, quickened over 2f out, headed over 1f out, no chance with winner but kept on for clear 2nd
Pride Of India chased leader until over 4f out, chased leading pair after, ridden and outpaced just over 2f out, no chance with leaders after
Style Icon towards rear and pushed along early, headway 5f out, chased leading trio well over 2f out, hung right and wide bend just over 2f out, no chance with leading trio after
Ma Al Salamah held up well in touch, ridden and outpaced well over 2f out, no chance after
Nightjar slowly into stride, took keen hold, held up in rear, never on terms, some modest late headway
Thumbs Up slowly into stride, bustled along early, always behind on outer, wide bend just over 2f out, modest late headway, never on terms
First Tracks chased leaders, ridden and outpaced well over 2f out, no chance after
Ma Ridge held up in touch, clipped heels and stumbled well over 4f out, ridden and outpaced well over 2f out, no chance after
Ivory Silk in touch in midfield until badly hampered and dropped to rear well over 4f out, no chance last 3f
Cape Tycoon took keen hold, held up in touch, outpaced and dropped to rear 3f out, soon well behind
Connor's Choice stuck on well considering how free he ran. He took some fair turf form into the race and adapted well to sand, being the only one who tried to testMasaalek. He should have little trouble picking up a maiden.
Style Icon had been well behind Masaalek at the Craven meeting and was unable to narrow the gap, while Ma Al Salamah is now qualified to run in handicaps.
