Apache Fort held up well in touch, headway to join leaders 3f out, ridden to lead narrowly 2f out, just held on
Alonso De Guzman led, joined 3f out, ridden and headed narrowly 2f out, rallied under pressure well inside final furlong, just held
Wind Flow chased leaders, joined leader well over 3f out, every chance after until no extra well inside final furlong
Calming Waters held up well in touch, ridden and not quicken just over 2f out, stayed on again inside final furlong, not reach leaders
Sunset Boulevard tracked leaders, ridden well over 2f out, soon struggling, no chance from well over 1f out
Alonso De Guzman is more at home around Wolverhampton but his rally looked to have paid off. He hadn't run here since his two-year-old season and should have learned some trackcraft in a somewhat unlucky defeat.
