Captain Ellis had to concede 3lb to the winner so there is very little between them. He came well clear of the third and did not have the benefit of a previous run, so there will be improvement to come.
Tale Of Silver had run green on his debut but knew a bit more about it this time, and he looks the type to improve again. He is sprint-bred but it would be no great surprise if he got further.
Woolston Ferry looked as if he might get into it at halfway but then hung left and had no more to offer from the furlong marker.
When Doves Cry was never able to get in a threatening blow but she was getting the hang of things in the latter stages and is one to keep an eye on.
Paul Fessey reported that Digit hung left.
