The going was officially changed from ‘good' to ‘good, good to soft in places'.

This was not the hottest of maidens. TANTO FAZ was given a confident ride, but things got a bit anxious when the long-time leader did not look like stopping, but all credit to him for picking up and getting on top in the last strides. It was only his second run and with a mile and a quarter like to suit there is improvement to come.

French Art, who pulled hard last time, settled nicely in front and kept up the gallop, only to be beaten by a better horse at the weights. He was well clear of the third and there is a maiden of this nature in him now.

Times Vital is another who will now be handicapped and he has also done enough to give him hopes in that company.

Presvis had been showing definite signs of ability and he could well prove best of these when stepping up to handicaps.
