Daarth always in rear
He was dropped out and looked to have been ridden with perhaps too much confidence, but problems emerged for him when he got stuck behind a wall of horses entering the final two furlongs and, still showing signs of greenness, didn't realise what was required of him until he really picked up well inside the final furlong.
He is probably still an embryo of a horse and this success can do him the world of good.
Inquisitive Look had made headway over half a mile from home, and looked all over the winner when sent on over two furlongs out.
Her rider looked both left and right inside the furlong, after being clear over a furlong out, but was just nobbled close home. She could be expected to need this debut and, on this showing, would be something to be with when next seen on the racecourse.
London Times, likewise, was having his third run, and led until the eventual runner-up went on. He can find his races and Mushtaaq showed up quite well and can improve for this reappearance.
Requia chased for a long way and can improve further.
Solas Alainn was held up, made some progress after halfway, and is another from whom better can be expected now he is handicapped.
Zia Zabel was short of room in the straight and she is another who can improve on this form in handicaps.
