Analyis of the race

Little with great potential in a decidedly run-of-the-mill maiden.

EVERYTHING had run as though the drop back to this trip might suit when fifth over 7f on her previous start and did this well, leading in the final 100 yards and coming clear for adecisive success. But she had appeared to have her limitations exposed previously and this is probably not form to get carried away with.

Great Knight, who had strong claims on form, raced a shade keenly in first-time blinkers and after getting tothe front after 2f from his wide draw he had no response to the winner's efforts in the closing stages. Pintano had been off the course for nearly nine months but ran close to the level of form he had shown in 2007, soon prominent.

Do As I Say ran respectably on his return from a year off, just ahead of stable-companion Bertie Vista.
