From a stable in form THE NIFTY FOX just proved strongest in the closing stages, after there had been seven still in with a chance inside the last two furlongs. He had been hintingfor a while that his turn might be due again.
Kings College Boy, shouldering a 6lb penalty, is in great heart and up with the pace from the outset he could not quite cope with the winner, but he was clear of the third.
Blazing Heights was another to show a bit more sparkle than he has so far this term, while Rothesay Dancerlikes this course but was beaten some way in the end. He had been close enough if good enough and is better than the bare form.
Hawaii Prince, 1lb out of handicap, showed early pace but was found wanting when it mattered, while My Gacho was slowly away and could not get in a blow, but he is most effective over 6f anyway.
