Analyis of the race

Another weak contest and ISPHAHAN proved far too good for his rivals, able to take more of a back seat than usual before powering away into the final furlong and comfortably holding the usual late rattle of Napoletano. Isphahan had run well under a 6lb penalty for his win in a shade better race two runs ago and is a pound higher than this mark in future already but he remains a danger to all at this level.

Napoletano ran his usual race, enjoying the strong pace and despite hanging as he pickedup through the pack, he was the only one to give chase.

Contented and Pragmatist met trouble in running without suggesting it cost them a chance of earning money.
