Key Decision, who made the running, stuck to his guns, only to be denied near the finish. His turn will surely come.
Wells Lyrical, stepping up in trip, confirmed his promise with a creditable performance. Stock Market, having only his second outing and another stepping up in distance, was produced to win his race, but failed to get home as well as the principals.
