Comments in running

South Wales awkward start, soon in midfield, ridden 5f out, chased leader 2f out, stayed on to lead inside final furlong, edged right, driven clear

Mahadee led, went 7 lengths clear halfway, hard ridden over 1f out, headed and no extra inside final furlong

Betonart chased leaders, ridden and hung right 2f out, one pace

Ba Dreamflight chased leader, hard ridden 3f out, weakened 2f out

Media Stars dwelt, towards rear, ridden 5f out, never troubled leaders

Poppy Dean chased leaders until weakened 2f out

Looter mainly moderate 6th, ridden 5f out, no chance final 3f

Zaarmit held up in rear, hit by clod of earth and looked uncomfortable from halfway, no chance final 3f




Analyis of the race

Ahmed Ajtebi looked to have stolen this with an enterprising ride on Mahadee but he found SOUTH WALES ran him down inside the final furlong and won going away with nothing else ever getting into it. The winner, who is in the sales at Newmarket next week, has been in good form recently and, sent off a well-backed favourite, he saw this trip out strongly to get off the mark at the seventh attempt.

Mahadee appreciated the return to this trip having run poorly over 1m last time but he might be flattered by this as he was allowed to clear away without any of his rivals attempting to keep tabs.

There was a big gap back to Ba Dreamflight who weakened in the closing stages and the rest were well strung out.
