Analyis of the race

Six of the 10 runners were making their debuts, but it was CECILY and Stan's Cool Cat, a pair who had the benefit of previous experience, who fought out the finish.

Cecily had been seventh of 12 on her debut at Leicester three weeks ago, but she has evidently come on a fair bit since and battled on well under pressure to get on top close home.

Stan's Cool Cat, who had been doing her best work at the finish when runner-up on her debut over 5f at Windsor, did not find the hoped-for improvement stepped up to 6f at York last time, hence this return to the minimum trip. She showed plenty of dash but perhaps did a bit too much in the first half of the race and that may have cost her on the run to the line.

Boho Chic did not get the best of runs in the straight, but still managed to show enough on this debut to suggest she can make her mark.

First Choice, a moderate fifth at Southwell last week, looked like doing much better here when joining Stan's Cool Cat turning for home, but - as at Southwell - she could not sustain her challenge through the final furlong.
