Analyis of the race

A 301-day break has clearly done ALGARADE the world of good and she bounced right back to her best, winning comfortably.

The filly could have been called the winner three furlongs out as Seb Sanders sat motionless in the saddle while his rivals were all hard at work, and once given the office in the straight she skipped right away. She is potentially well handicapped now back to her best having lost her way a bit last year, and she looks one to keep on the right side of now.

Bavarica also travelled well, held up off the pace, and she stayed on well to pass all but Algarade down the outside. She is an infrequent winner, but she's not badly handicapped and is pretty versatile surface wise.

Auntie Mame was close enough, tracking the pace, but she was another that didn't run up to recent form, finding disappointingly little at the business end.

Stringsofmyheart was urged to take up the running, but she was in trouble some way out and is probably handicapped out of things now.
