Captain Mainwaring led over 1f, led over 2f out, clear when edged left inside final furlong, ridden out
Io held up, headway over 3f out, ridden over 2f out, chased winner and edged left just over 1f out, no impression
Loveofmylife held up in mid-division, ridden and headway over 3f out, stayed on inside final furlong
Smetana held up in touch, ridden and one pace final 2f
Flash Of Fire held up and behind, headway 4f out, ridden 2f out, one pace, eased when beaten towards finish
Balais Folly slowly into stride, headway on inside 5f out, lost place over 3f out, beaten when not clear run and switched right well over 1f out
Titfer led over 10f out, ridden and headed over 3f out, weakened over 1f out
Special Feature held up in mid-division, headway over 3f out, soon ridden, weakened over 2f out
Sarah´s First always behind
Okafranca took keen hold in mid-division, weakened over 2f out
Shoot Pontoon weakened over 3f out, always behind
Yes Meg prominent, ridden 3f out, soon weakened, eased when no chance final furlong
Duneen Dream always towards rear, eased when no chance final furlong
Io had appeared not to get home over 2f further last time yet looked as if she needed it here, as she stayed on well. There is probably one of these in her somewhere.
Smetana could plug on at only the one pace but was having only his fifth try, so there might be a little improvement to come.
Flash Of Fire is another relatively unexposed sort and there is a chance he will be seen to better effect when faced with faster ground.
