Victory went to IMPERIAL GUEST, who had been fancied for his debut at Windsor and left his debuteffort behind with a comfortable success. He was held up and only asked to make his progress in the final two furlongs but found a tidy turn of foot to come and cut down his rivals, and was well on top at the end. He looks capable of improving with further experience and could have earned his place in the Chesham Stakes.
They were running into a headwind and that made Mazzola's effort commendable as he was in front from the start until headed over three furlongs out and was back in front again approaching the next furlong. He had no answer to the winner's finishing burst but he can win more races at a more modest level.
Soul Sista was unruly in the stalls but ran well enough although finding this company above her station.
Suruor looked fit enough for his debut, if not a little green but he was slowly into his stride and was never really in with a chance. He can improve with experience.
The big disappointment was the odds-on Secret Society, who also fluffed the start before making up his ground steadily towards the stands to have his chance in the final two furlongs but weakened quickly in the closing stages. He is clearly thought better than this and can be given a chance to put this effort behind him.
