Analyis of the race

The normally hotly-contested race for this decent prize which went to STAYING ON, again given a positive ride up against the far rail. Up 7lb for making all when dropped back to this trip at Windsor, he was briefly headed approaching the furlong polebut battled back gamely and was on top where it mattered to belie concerns regarding the ground. The Britannia Stakes is a possibility while connections may try him back over 1m2f at some point.

Commander Cave has been a revelation this spring andwas only just piped in his bid for a four-timer on ground quick enough for him. He hit the front briefly approaching the final furlong and didn't do a lot wrong.

Jaser has landed touches in soft ground races at Nottingham probably found the groundtoo lively. When making his move on the outside he tended to hang in.

Flawed Genius looked unlucky but how unlucky is open to debate. He was twice denied a run from nearing the final furlong but seemed to flatten out once in the clear.

exactly flew once a gap appeared.

Tiger Dream never really got seriously involved and, though a little out of his depth, shouldn't be discarded yet. Zakhaaref seems a nice type and was bang in the firing line until weakening well over two out. He'll be interesting back in trip.

Huzzah was pretty keen early on while Austintatious was soon with the leaders after missing the kick only to weaken by the two pole.
