Great Charm chased leaders, led 1f out, stayed on well, readily
Rio Sands with leader, led over 2f out, headed 1f out, no extra
Mission Impossible chased leaders, stayed on same pace final 2f
Storey Hill reared start, held up, headway and driven along over 3f out, weakened 2f out
Legal Eagle led, hung right and headed over 2f out, soon weakened, eased inside final furlong
Incomparable chased leaders, soon driven along, lost place over 2f out, soon behind and eased
Rio Sands in good form and stuck to his task though no match for the winner. He seems to handle all sorts of ground but his win at Musselburgh did come on good to firm.
Mission Impossible kept on without being able to get in a serious blow and though he handles some cut, he may well appreciate a quicker surface than he encountered here.
Storey Hill was soon having to be pushed along and was never able to get into it on his first run on turf
