Flower and the winner launched their challenges together but she had to settle for the runner up spot. She was wearing a visor for the first time but the handicapper looks in control.
Reve Vert had little to recommend him before the race and his finishing position gives the bare form a modest feel.
Belle Bellino was stepping back up to this trip but she shaped like she did not quite get home.
