Another seriously uncompetitive affair. Winning hurdler FOREIGN KING enjoyed both the easier task and a change of tactics to bowling along infront, on this drop back in trip.

The field fanned out into the final 2f but never looked like troubling Foreign King, who was well on top inside the final furlong, extending his lead at the finish. He has been dropped a few pounds but much will depend how the handicapper sees this ultimately clearcut win as this looks his level.

Hester Brook travelledwell through the race, did not find as much as looked likely into the final 2f, but still clung on to second as Shenandoah Girl, held together at the back for a late challenge, could only edge closer down the midtrack outside of the field along with Bothar Brugha, who ran a shade better than the bare form, although he does not look the most straightforward. He played up going to post and then completely missed the break. Threatening for a place, he was held into the final 100 yards to accentuate his beating.
