Auntie Mame deserves plenty of credit for this reappearance win against race-fitter rivals, and she maintains her progressive profile on her first start at four, suggesting she can go on from this and keep pace with the handicapper.
Friends Hope was dropping back in trip and as such it might have been better if she had been kicked on as she travelled over her rivals three furlongs out. She responded when headed but did not have the pace to get back at Auntie Mame, while galloping on strongly under her winner's penalty. This was still a fine run as she was plenty keen enough early stuck widest out from her high draw.
Eerly leader Under Fire held fourth after setting a soundpace, but nothing else threatened, and both Moyoko, who was badly hampered against the inside rail into the final furlong, and Hucking Heat, were well beaten when short of room.
King Of Charm was reported to have run too free, while SilverBlue was reported to have been denied a clear run.
