Love On Sight held up, headway on inside 2f out, never near to challenge

Nice To Know held up, and came towards centre from outside draw, short of room 2f out, kept on final furlong, never near to challenge

Medicea Sidera led until headed 2f out, soon weakened

Ivory Lace held up, ridden and switched left over 2f out, never dangerous

Bookish prominent until weakened 2f out




Analyis of the race

A fillies' handicap that looked fairly competitive and proved so. RYDAL MOUNT has done all her winning with cut in the ground but she managed to get her head in front on this faster surface. She had been raised 10lb for her cosy Newbury win and that looked to anchor her last time, but though she is very game and honest, another rise up the handicap will be against her.

The judge could not separate Naughty Frida and Just Like A Woman.The former had achieved a fair standard on the sand but whether she is as good on turf remains the question, while Just Like A Woman, due to go up 3lb from the weekend for getting beaten last time, is going to face tougher tasks as a result.
