Astonish made all, ridden and kept on strongly from over 1f out
Toberanthawn chased leaders, headway to 2nd 2f out, ridden and no impression on leader over 1f out, kept on same pace
Withnail mid-division, headway to 6th halfway, improved to 3rd under 2f out, ridden and kept on same pace from 1 1/2f out
Circle Dance tracked leaders, 7th halfway, ridden into 5th 1 1/2f out, 4th and no impression 1f out, kept on same pace
Nightswimmer chased leaders, ridden in 4th 2f out, no extra in 5th over 1f out, kept on same pace
Annebrook Lady chased leaders on outer, ridden in 6th 1 1/2f out, no extra and kept on same pace
Princess Misty chased leaders, 2nd halfway, ridden and weakened 2f out
Starlight Choice chased leaders in centre, ridden in 5th 2f out, soon no extra
Tabaahi never a factor
Spartan Mystery went left leaving stalls, always towards rear
Liberty Island mid-division, ridden and no impression over 2f out
Mystic Honey never a factor
Kid Sister always towards rear on inner
The Bodhran Beat always towards rear
Toberanthawn again showed that she has the ability win a race although she has so far failed to deliver on the promise she showed last season. She was prominent throughout but was unable to trouble the winner inside the final furlong.
Circle Dance, twice placed on fast ground over 6f before finishing in mid division over 7f on his previous start, gave the impression that the trip was on the short side for him.
