Analyis of the race

This was run at a decent gallop, and gave JUSTWHATEVERULIKE his third consecutive success despite a 16lb rise up the ratings.

The winner was always travelling well, and going on after the second-last, drew clear in good style on the flat to scorepushed out. Two miles on fast ground seems ideal for him and he's thriving at present.

Blast The Past, ridden from off the pace, got without a couple of lengths of the leaders going to the second-last, but she couldn't quicken, while though he had finished closer to the winner last time, Made In France wasn't at all disgraced considering he helped set the strong gallop, though he was beaten after the second-last.
