Nothingtodeclaire led 2f, pressed leader, ridden to challenge and upsides 2f out, outpaced final furlong
Bundle Up took keen hold, held up in midfield, closed on leaders over 2f out, switched right and nearly upsides well over 1f out, soon outpaced
Noah Jameel held up in midfield, effort over 2f out, stayed on same pace from over 1f out, never able to challenge
Sintenis Mac rousted along to go prominent, effort on inner and not much room over 2f out, close up over 1f out, weakened
Barry Island held up well in rear, no progress over 2f out, kept on from over 1f out, no chance
Autograph Hunter towards rear, ridden and progress over 2f out, not reach leaders over 1f out, weakened final furlong
Still Calm led to post and mounted at start, led after 2f, wandered halfway, kicked on over 3f out, hanging over 2f out, headed and weakened over 1f out
Trysting Grove held up in last trio, ridden and no progress over 2f out
Siena Star took keen hold, tracked leaders, close enough over 2f out, weakened rapidly well over 1f out
Club Captain raced awkwardly on inner, in touch until weakened over 2f out
A ready winner at Bath two starts back, he was unable to justify favouritism under a 6lb penalty at Yarmouth next time and had subsequently been given a short break. He has clearly fund some form again and will remain a force at this sort of level.
Medieval Maiden seems to have appreciated a change of scenery this year. Never too far off the pace, she went on a furlong out and looked all over the winner, but Top Seed had other ideas and she was run out of it.
Mixing has been falling short off this sort of mark but has often gone well here in the past and ran on under pressure to record a decent effort in third.
Nothingtodeclaire had been well supported in the morning and this improved showing evidently came as no surprise. She was keen early on but stuck on well enough for pressure and should find a small race at the right level.
Noah Jameel, whose only two victories have been registered over course and distance, the most recent of which came off a 2lb lower mark in February, finished some 14 lengths behind Top Seed at Bath last time and had it to do to reverse the form, despite being 10lb better off. He ran well, but lacked the pace to launch a serious challenge and is another who would have prefered a faster pace.
Still Calm, who had to be walked down to post, ran an improved race on his handicap debut with a first-time eyeshield. He took up the running after a couple of furlongs but was inclined to wander and ultimately dropped out.
