Twinned went right start, headway over 3f out, ridden, hung right and weakened over 1f out
A couple of lengths clear turning for home, the winner began to draw away in the closing stages to score with a fair degree of authority. Rated much lower on the all-weather than turf, he appreciated this drop in grade having run so well in a stronger race at Windsor last time and he's very hard to catch when in this mood.
Smirfys Gold tracked the pace travelling well, but he couldn't close the gap on the winner when coming under pressure, and he is still to get off the mark.
Twinned is probably a bit better than the bare form, because he was slowly away and made a lot of ground up, before weakening in the home straight.
