Senora Lenorah in touch until weakened over 2f out
Endeavor slowly into stride, always behind
Wolf Pack missed break, never on terms
August Gale had the highest official rating and he tried to make every post a winning one. He was one-paced when headed by the winner and is worth a try over further.
Important News produced his best run so far. Last of the main group turning in, he stayed on nicely right to the line and clearly is going the right way on this quicker ground.
Warm Tribute was another to come up with a career-best and it remains to be seen if this was a fluke.
