Analyis of the race

This looked a good maiden and should provide plenty of winners in the future. RESURGE, second at Goodwood on his reappearance 16 days earlier, took up the running over a furlong out and kept on well. He can improve further and there are sure to be a lot more races in him.

Timetable, who had run well here in August on his only previous start, was held up just off the pace but looked to be feeling the ground when asked for an effort over a furlong out, changing his legs before staying on close home. He would have to be backed in this grade next time on more suitable ground.

Schopenhauer finished behind Resurge at Goodwood last time but stepped up markedly on that effort as he closed all the way to the line after being held up. He gave theimpression he will be suited by a little further.

Myanmar, who started slowly and hung right coming down the hill, did well to finish so close. He wasn't the best of movers and can improve on better ground with the benefit of this experience.

Miss Brown To You led until halfway and gradually faded in the closing stages, but Spouk was the eyecatcher as she stayed on in the closing stages and she will leave this effort well behind.
