Second Reef held up in rear, steady headway on inside over 2f out, weakened approaching final furlong
Yorkshire Blue held up in rear, never on terms
Earlsmedic came out of the pack to look dangerous over 1f out, but he appeared to carry his head high under pressure and was unable to reel in the winner, who kept galloping right to the line.
Hansomis, a maiden, ran a creditable race to finish on the heels of the principals in third.
Vesuvio looked like getting into this when asked for an effort behind the leaders over 2f out, but he was unable to make an impression.
Strabinios King was drawn wide, which may not have helped his chances, while Imperial Sword, upped in trip, was drawn widest of all.
