Tracking the early leader, she travelled well to the front a furlong and a half out and was ridden a few lengths clear, an advantage she held all the way to the line.
Donard Lodge ran pretty much up to the form of her win here last month. Held up towards the rear, she made good progress on the outside inside the last furlong and a half to finish a clear second. An argument could be made that she was given too much to do, but, in fairness, the winner won on merit.
The early pace was set by Yodollah. He probably went plenty quick enough and was driven to try to hold his advantage early in the straight before he was headed a furlong and a half out. To his credit, though, the top weight kept on well to hold on to third place.
Crimson Rose was never really dangerous and just stayed on from mid-division inside the final furlong, while Chasing Clouds lost a little bit of momentum in the early strides but was soon in a handy position on the inside. He was close enough entering the straight but could make no impression in the last furlong or so.
