Ballinteni held up, headway 4f out, chased leaders 2f out, ridden and stayed on to challenge 1f out, driven to lead well inside final furlong, kept on
Jewelled Dagger led, ridden along 2f out, driven over 1f out, headed and no extra well inside final furlong

Film Festival chased leaders, ridden along and outpaced over 2f out, plugged on same pace under pressure final furlong
Suits Me prominent, ridden along over 3f out, weakened final 2f, lost 4th near finish
Danish Rebel never near leaders
Just Bond dwelt and towards rear, headway over 3f out, ridden to chase leaders over 2f out, soon beaten
Moheebb chased leader, ridden along 4f out, weakened 3f out
Instructor slowly into stride, always in rear
Eglevski steadied and switched right soon after start, headway on inner to track leaders when stumbled badly and lost place 6f out, headway to chase leaders over 3f out, soon ridden and weakened
Jewelled Dagger ran a fine race in second, setting the pace and keeping on well to finish clear of the rest. He won four times last term, and though he went up 40lb as a result, he is clearly capable of winning off his current mark.
Granston was well back in third, travelling well off the pace, but not really picking up in the straight. However, he was a long way ahead of Film Festival, who ran on to take fourth from Suits Me, who travelled up well, but was outpaced in the last 2f. He may be better when able to dominate, but is high enough in the weights at present.
