Potentially a fair maiden as several of these three-year-olds had already shown ability and the principals have probably got more improvement in them. The decisive move came when three quickened clear over 2f out, including DARAAHEM who had been prominent from the off, led over 1f out and edged left but held on well. He has progressed with each outing and is more than likely to continue improving for a while yet.

But so too will Moonquake, who looked still to be green and who led to over 1f out, but then had to be switched right as the winner came across him, keeping on at one pace thereafter. He will probably do better on a more conventional track and looks well up to winning a maiden.

Polmaily is also better than the bare form as he was caught well off the pace when the tempo quickened. Crystal Rock was prominent for a long way but was already beaten when short of room over 1f out.
