Imperial Sword was another who has dropped significantly down the ratings and ran his best race for some time. He was held up in touch towards the centre and tacked over towards the far side once leading inside the final furlong, but was just collared close home. He can find a race at this level soon.
Welcome Releaf ran well under a 6lb penalty on his return to turf and kept on under pressure in the closing stages. Again, he is only modest but is another who looks capable of collecting in this grade.
Limonia has been running consistently on the all-weather this year and showed plenty of pace on the stands rails but could only keep on at the one pace when headed over a furlong out , while Falmassim was soon prominent on the far side and led over a furlong out but didn't have a lot more to offer once headed.
