Great Knight, who went down keenly and raced keenly through the early stages, was produced to win his race, but he failed to pick up and only just got thebest of a three-way battle for second. He is still learning and handicaps may offer him a better option in due course.
Everything did not improve markedly for this step up in trip, while newcomer Virtuality showed signs of ability when staying on late.
