Celticello reluctant to go to post, dropped out start, held up in rear, steady headway over 2f out, led well inside final furlong, cleverly
Ryedale Ovation held up and behind, headway over 3f out, led 2f out, soon ridden, headed well inside final furlong
Master Mahogany led 1f, prominent, ridden to lead briefly over 2f out, weakened inside final furlong
New Star held up and behind, ridden and headway over 2f out, one pace final furlong
Davenport held up in touch, ridden over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
Shabahar led after 1f, ridden and headed over 2f out, weakened well over 1f out
Red Current prominent, not much room on inside bend 6f out, weakened 3f out
Amir El Jabal slowly into stride, soon pushed along, reminder after 1f, headway to chase leader over 6f out, weakened 3f out
Dr McFab held up in touch, weakened over 4f out, tailed off final 3f
The winner hadbeen hurdling this winter, so did not lack in the fitness stakes and won with a bit up his sleeve. He should go on from here and will get further.
Ryedale Ovation looked as if he had done enough but the winner collared him close home. He will win more races for his new trainer in this sort of company as the pair were clear of the others.
