Record Breaker tracked leader, headway to lead well over 2f out, ridden well over 1f out, driven and headed just inside final furlong, rallied under pressure to lead again last 75yds

Sir Duke tracked leading pair, headway 3f out, ridden to challenge over 1f out, led and edged right inside final furlong, soon driven, headed and no extra last 75yds

Hue held up in rear, headway on outer 3f out, ridden to chase leading pair over 1f out, kept on same pace

Charlotte Vale led, ridden along over 3f out, headed and driven well over 2f out, gradually weakened

Motive in touch, headway over 3f out, ridden well over 2f out, soon one pace

Royal Amnesty held up in rear, headway 3f out, ridden along on inner 2f out, soon beaten

No more than a fair gallop to this 1m6f handicap, in which the first two finished clear of the rest.

RECORD BREAKER had not run up to his best on his previous attempt at this trip, but he clearly stays, and after racing in touch, he led over 2f out, was headed, but battled back to prevail in a driving finish.

He has a fine strike-rate, this was his highest ever winning mark, and he may improve a little more yet.

Sir Duke came into the race in good form but was 17lb higher than when winning at Great Leighs in April. Ridden just off the pace, he challenged and led in the last furlong, but was run out of it in the last 75 yards. He may go up again, but this run confirmed he is capable of winning off this sort of mark.

Charlotte Vale dropped away after making the running.
