Blimey O´Riley set steady pace, ridden over 2f out, kept on well final furlong
Hollins prominent, effort over 2f out, kept on final furlong to take second post, not reach winner
Yonder presed winner, ridden 3f out, soon every chance, one pace final furlong, caught for second post
Bocciani tracked leaders, not much room and switched right over 2f out, effort over 1f out, no impression final furlong
Fleurs De Censier last but in touch, soon niggled along, driven 3f out, no impression from 2f out
Hollins, who had shown some promise in a bumper, ran a fair race switched to Flat rules. He showed quite a round action in the straight and perhaps slightly easier ground would suit him better. Handicaps will offer him more options in due course.
Bocciani, equipped with blinkers for his first race, showed a glimpse of ability, but Fleurs De Censier was off the bridle throughout and could never land a blow.
