Analyis of the race

The ground may well have been turning soft for this race, after further light rain. There was a mixed sort of bag for this juvenile contest, in which all eyes were on Watergate, who was sent off the evens favourite on the strength of his recent encouraging debut effort at Haydock. He failed to build on that performance, however, coming under pressure and edging to his left inside the final two furlongs.

CLASSIC BLADE, who had shaped nicely on his debut six weeks ago, fulfilled that promise with a professional display over this extra furlong. There should be further improvement to come from him.
