Ghaidaa took keen hold early, chased leaders, led well over 1f out, soon clear, easily
Siyasa soon led, ridden and hung left from over 2f out, headed well over 1f out and soon no chance with winner, held on for 2nd
Solar Dance slowly into stride, in rear but in touch, driven along over 3f out, stayed on from 2f out to take 3rd inside final furlong but never any chance with leading duo
Sweet Sara chased leader, ridden over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
Sacred Flame in rear, driven along over 3f out, moderate progress from over 1f out
Orange River took keen hold, held up in rear but in touch, ridden over 3f out, moderate progress final furlong
Testimonial in rear, effort on inside over 3f out, never in contention and soon weakened
Cuban Rhythm soon driven to chase leaders, weakened from 3f out
Catching The Light chased leaders, ridden and beaten 3f out
One Night In May in touch, ridden and beaten over 3f out
Solar Dance, dropped in from her wide draw, made a respectable debut at long odds and was clear of the prominently ridden Sweet Sara, who is eligible for a mark now, and the newcomers Sacred Flame, whose inexperience betrayed her as she made her effort up the outside, and Orange River.
Richard Hughes reported that Sacred Flame hung left. Ryan Moore reported that Testimonial hung left.
