Billy One Punch chased leaders, ridden along 2f out, not much room and switched left over 1f out, driven inside final furlong and stayed on to lead last 100yds
Shotley Mac led 2f, prominent, ridden along 2f out, driven over 1f out, every chance inside final furlong until no extra last 100yds
Myfrenchconnection in touch, headway and close up after 3f, led 3f out, ridden over 1f out, driven inside final furlong, headed and weakened last 100yds
Kingsholm dwelt, pulled hard and held up in rear, headway on outer well over 1f out, stayed on strongly inside final furlong, nearest finish
Riley Boys held up in rear, headway on inner 2f out, ridden when not much room over 1f out, switched left and kept on under pressure inside final furlong
Motu close up, led after 2f, pushed along and headed 3f out, soon ridden and weakened well over 1f out
Dance In Style chased leaders, ridden along over 3f out, soon weakened
Bolton Hall very slowly away, virtually refused to race
Shotley Mac made a spirited bid on his seasonal debut and went down fighting in second. He should find a winning opportunity in the weeks ahead.
Myfrenchconnection, having his second outing within a week, ran a blinder and, having been produced to win his race, was worn down only inside the last.
Kingsholm, who raced keenly, stayed on from the rear to show definite promise for the future.
The remaining trio, including the very reluctant Bolton Hall, were well beaten.
