Analyis of the race

Very much a law unto himself, BO McGINTY had plenty of chances to throw in the towel as he got bumped early on, but he made good progress to get into contention two furlongs out and though he was given reminders to get his head in front, in the last 100 yards he only had to be pushed out with hands and heels to win.

Stolt jumped quickly from stall four to grab an early advantage and made a bold attempt to lead throughout, but though he tried to respond when the winner drew alongside, he was always being held in the closing stages.

Carcinetto came out best of the rest, although the eyecatcher was Princess Ellis, who showed plenty of speed to be in the front rank, only to be forced wide on the turn and she was not knocked about when her chance had gone.
