Analyis of the race

Only the first three counted on official figures and so it proved, although the race was a muddling affair with Kryptonite slowing it in front after a couple of furlongs before a sprint up the straight.

AN SCARIBH has improved for a step up to this sort of trip and is proving equally adept on turf and fibresand. This was probably quickening up enough for him as, after travelling up strongly he ran around under pressure, but was just too good for a poor field.

Kryptonite did not look overjoyed to have cheekpieces on as he hung his head alarmingly in the dash for home, wanting to hang badly left yet he held second.

Howe's Jack showed much more than recently. He saw little daylight behind the hanging runner-up but finished on the heels of the front three, which is rating did not entitle him to do. A seller looks well within his compass.
