Analyis of the race

MANNELLO did well to land this after having to be snatched up when making an eyecatching run two out. To the credit of Richard Thomas, the jockey refused to panic and galvanised his mount to come again and grab Corlough Mountain 50 yards from the post.

Corlough Mountain is better than this grade when on song and he did everything right, fending off two or three challenges before succumbing to the winner. After two place finished since being switched back to turf his turn should come soon.

Million Percent proved a slightly disappointing market leader. He made his customary frame finish but doesn't look as good as he was.

Border Artist seems to have lost his way. The work he put in at the end came all too late.
