Presvis towards rear, headway over 2f out, not much room over 1f out, kept on
La Fortalesa led 1f, close up until ridden over 2f out and gradually weakened

St James's Palace Stakes entry Karoush was odds-on to score after a promising Newbury debut, but he had every chance, racing in touch, being firmly driven from 2f out and though he pulled clear of the rest, he was always just held. He'll win a race, but on this evidence, he's nothing special.
