Osteopathic Remedy took keen hold, tracked leader, led over 1f out, edged left, kept on strongly, eased near finish
Esoterica led to over 1f out, kept on under pressure final furlong, no chance with winner
Shy Glance tracked leaders, effort over 2f out, edged left, one pace over 1f out
Pianoforte held up in touch, effort over 2f out, no extra over 1f out
Darfour held up, pushed along over 2f out, kept on final furlong, never dangerous
Hawkit steadied last, ridden over 2f out, never reached leaders
Wilmington prominent until ridden and weakened 2f out
Jordan´s Light behind, driven over 3f out, soon beaten
Ulysees in touch, slipped bend over 3f out, ridden and weakened over 2f out
Esoterica could not cope with the winner's late surge, but he has come clear of the third and has improved a deal on his first two runs of the term.
Shy Glance had run with some promise last time and better could have been expected.
Darfour, making his seasonal debut, looked well beforehand but the race was not run to suit him and he is not one to write off.
Hawkit needs some cut in the ground.
