Analyis of the race

A good turnout for this classy handicap and thanks to Officer no falsely-run contest.MILITARY CROSS, a disappointment when well fancied for the 2007 Hunt Cup, has had joint problems and a metal implant in his leg to limit his racing so this was a fine training feat to bring him back a winner in a hot contest. He is nudging a three-figure rating which will limit his options, although he looks the sort who can make the step up to Listed class. He holds the big-money Totesport International Handicap entry at Ascot over King George weekend and the big Goodwood mile handicap may also enter calculations.

Orchard Supreme, who was 17lb better off with the winner for a two-length defeat on the all-weather, may not have translated his rapid rise up the ratings on Polytrack back to turf but he again showed he has a decent prize in him on turf. He was again a bit too keen for his own good under restraint and the winner and third got first run on him wider out as he was finally unleashed up the inside rail into the final furlong, He quickened up well but then hung badly left towards his rivals. He still managed to split the useful pair and looks to have a turf rating to exploit and it would be no surprise if he popped up back at Goodwood.
