Analyis of the race

The jockeys considered the ground was riding on the fast side but with no jar. They all came far side, which is usually the order of the day when the going is as fast as this.

Only three of these had seen the racecourse in public before and previous experience proved important as MEASUREMENT, third on his debut, built on that effort to score well. The winner will not mind another furlong and looks more of a longer term prospect as his trainer declared he would probably bypass Royal Ascot next week. Wherever he goes next, he should be of interest as he is definitely going the right way.

Blown It was sluggish from the stalls but was doing some good work in the closing stages. This was a nice debut performance and he should have little difficulty in going one better in one of these.

Minder ran well again but looks to be the type whowill come into his own in the nursery division.

Cavendish Road had every chance on his debut but should benefit for this effort.

Give, a stablemate of the winner, proved something of an eyecatcher as she stayed on in pleasing style without ever looking likely to get there. However, with this under her belt she should be found an opening.
