Analyis of the race

Experience told as the Aidan O'Brien-trained SAWTOOTH MOUNTAIN built on his promising debut. Having joined the leaders 1f out, he stayed on in good fashion to win going away.

Best of the newcomers was Tomas An Tsioda, who raced in the first two early on, but was strongly under pressure before making the turn into the straight. Jim Bolger's juvenile kept on inside the final 2f to make a satisfactory debut and should improve from the outing.

Driving Snow experienced a rough passage and was hampered over 2f out before staying on again to claim third place.

Excelente was another of the first-timers who put up an eye-catching debut. Jessica Harrington's filly started slowly and was second-last in the early stages. She crept closer andwas gaining on the leaders with every stride without ever getting in a serious blow.

There had been good support for the Ballydoyle second string, the one-eyed Grand Admiral, but he was involved in significant interference over 2f out with Ti Landa, which didn't do either any favours.

Alexander Family was very slowly away and seemed to run green up the straight.

The John Oxx-trained Mourayan, a well-bredson of Alhaarth, was another to never get involved after making a slow start.[RC]
