Analyis of the race

NOT many got into this as IT'S A DREAM landed a fair old touch off a very favourable mark. This was his first success since his debut in 2005 and he might just go on now his yard's lean spell has been ended.

Dropping back from 2m to nearly half that distance, El Dececy was given a forceful ride and very nearly pinched it from the front.

Oeuf A La Neige stays a little bit further than this and ran well. He seems to be coming to his peak and is worth keeping an eye on.

Anthemion is best when dominating. This will have put him spot on and he will be interesting if he is allowed an easy lead.

King of the Moors is a law until himself but this wasn't a bad run from a moderate draw.
