Analyis of the race

HAWRIDGE KING kept pulling out extra to repel They All Laughed. The six-year-old is most effective on quickish ground and had indicated with a promising run at Haydock he was coming to the boil.

They All Laughed is finding his form now the ground is getting faster, and put in a late spurt to take second in the final 50 yards. He is on the cusp of opening his turf account for the year.

Trachonitis was up 4lb for his Newmarket success at the end of May. He wasn't able to be as competitiveand never looked like threatening Hawridge King, though it was another solid run. He's been a model of consistency since joining his current trainer.
