Kerrys Requiem steadied start, soon pushed along in midfield, switched left over 1f out, stayed on well under pressure to lead towards finish
White Shift led and set fast pace, ridden 2f out, headed inside final furlong, kept on gamely to regain 2nd last stride
To The Point chased leader, headway to challenge 2f out, wanting to hang left after, led inside final furlong, headed and lost 2 places towards finish
Doughnut chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, edged left final furlong, no impression
Val De Flores always in last pair, struggling before halfway
Rapanui Belle always last and outpaced
White Shift emerges the moral winner, setting the scorching pace and then rallying after looking well held in third into the last 100yds. She was far from disgraced in the Queen Mary from an unfavourable draw and deserves some Listed success this year.
Doughnut, who had a verdict over the winner and third, did not quite run up to form. She could never challenge and even if she did not have daylight to aim at, she hung badly left in the final 100yds and has not run to her best.
The other two were outclassed as expected.
