Analyis of the race

There was plenty to like about the way SHADY GLOOM opened his account at the fourth attempt and his connections will not overdo it with him this season as he is expected to really come into his own as a four-year-old when the Chester Cup could be a target for him.

Bocciani was no match for the winner but he kept on to take the runner-up spot and on this evidence a step back up in trip would suit him.

Chatanoogachoochoo was having her first run and softer ground and longer trips are likely to see her in a better light with this experience behind her.

Smart Pick had nearly two stone to find on official figures to trouble the winner and never got into it.
