Chjimes took keen hold, tracked leader until led 1f out, ridden out

Count Ceprano held up well in touch in last trio, headway well over 1f out, not much room and jostled over 1f out, ran on to go 2nd near finish, not reach winner

Glencalvie led, ridden 2f out, headed 1f out, kept on same pace, lost 2nd near finish

Wavertree Warrior slowly into stride, in touch, ridden and edging left over 1f out, kept on same pace

Royal Island held up well in touch in last trio, headway on outer well over 2f out, kept on but never pace to reach leaders

Cativo Cavallino took keen hold, in touch chased leaders and ridden 2f out, kept on same pace final furlong

Cinnamon Hill chased leaders, ridden 2f out, weakened inside final furlong

Teasing slowly into stride, behind, effort on inner 2f out, weakened over 1f out

A routine handicap. CHJIMES had been beaten 26 times since his successful juvenile debut, but connections insist he is a straightforward ride who can adapt well to different circumstances, and he certainly looked it here.

His rider was content to let Glencalvie do the donkey work, but he was always perfectly placed and he took it up with a furlong to go. There are no AW races for him in the immediate future, and he will not carry a penalty on turf because he is already significantly worse off in that discipline.

Count Ceprano had run well at Royal Ascot last week over a straight 7f, but holding him up in this small field round a turning track presented a different challenge and after being waited with he was momentarily tightened up when challenging between horses in the short straight. He still managed to just get the better of recent course winner Glencalvie, who ran his race over the furlong-shorter trip.
