Analyis of the race

A generously run race, which left no hiding place for any suspect stayers. There were no stamina problems for FOUR MIRACLES, who travelled well, moved through smoothly and found enough when asked to go about her job to take the spoils. She was not winning out of turn and her jockey felt that, having not been entirely happy on good to soft ground at Newmarket last time, was much more at home under these quicker conditions.

Directa's Digger, raised 11lb for his latest Haydock win, proved he is still on the upgrade with a career-best performance in second. Bollin Felix, having only his second run of the campaign, ran a grand race, staying on again after looking to get a little outpaced. Easier ground may suit him a little better.

New Beginning and Collette's Choice did not appear to stay.
