The Magic Blanket led, ridden 2f out, headed over 1f out, weakening when short of room inside final furlong, eased after
Fitolini refused to race
Yankee Storm dwelt at the start and he was being driven a long way out, still at the back of thefield, but he responded really well to pressure in the final quarter mile to pick up strongly and get his head in front close home.
Orpen's Art did little wrong under his inexperienced jockey and, having moved through to take over at the furlong marker, he stayed on well to go down fighting.
Recent course and distance winner Maggie Kate was always in touch and kept onwell, but the combination of a 5lb higher mark and stronger company put paid to her chance.
Quroma faded away in the closing stages and of more interest is L'Art Du Silence, who caught the eye with his finishing effort having been detached at halfway and coming wide into the straight.
