Comments in running

Cool Ebony led 1f, stayed tracking leaders, went 2nd and hard driven over 1f out, strong challenge under pressure inside final furlong, led final 50yds, held on well

Unlimited chased leaders, led over 2f out, soon hard driven, kept narrow advantage inside final furlong untl headed and no extra final 50yds

Royal Storm led after 1f, headed over 2f out, weakened final furlong

Merrymadcap chased leaders, carried wide bend over 4f out, ridden and some progress over 2f out, never going pace to be competitive

Don Pietro took keen hold, chased leaders and ran wide bend 4f out, headway 3f out, chased leaders 2f out, soon beaten

Art Market in rear, ridden and some headway from over 2f out, never going pace to be competitive

Millfield in rear, ridden over 2f out, some headway from over 1f out but never in contention

Master Mahogany always towards rear

Sun Catcher always towards rear

Gazboolou in touch when carried wide bend 4f out, soon behind

The Gaikwar slowly into stride, always struggling in rear

Coup D´Etat chased leaders until weakened over 3f out, eased when no chance over 1f out, tailed off




Analyis of the race

Another race in which few showed with a chance, as front-running Royal Storm held third behind the two principals, who pulled nicely clear in their duel from over a furlong out.

COOL EBONY was making his seasonal return for his new trainer but wasvery game in proving just too strong for the race-fitter Unlimited. He clearly enjoys fast ground but looks well exposed.

Unlimited settled better than he usually does and looked a likely winner as he dashed past Royal Storm. He battled back when headed but was always just being held in the last 150yds. His chance, as always, depends on how settled he gets to the start and early in his races.

Coup D'Etat was reported to have run too free, while Sun Catcher was reported to have slipped on the bend.
