Just Bond held up in rear, good headway on outer 2f out, ridden over 1f out, stayed on strongly inside final furlong to lead near line
Isphahan prominent, effort over 2f out, ridden to lead 1f out, driven inside final furlong, headed and not quicken near line
Vicious Warrior led, ridden along 3f out, driven and headed 1f out, kept on under pressure inside final furlong
Thunderstruck held up in rear, good headway 2f out, not clear run over 1f out, switched right and ridden inside final furlong, stayed on well, nearest finish
Harvest Warrior slowly into stride and rear, ridden along well over 2f out, switched right and good headway on outer over 1f out, finished strongly
Pitbull slowly into stride, headway on inner over 3f out, ridden to chase leaders over 1f out, soon driven and one pace entering final furlong
Sotik Star in touch, headway on outer 3f out, ridden to chase leaders 2f out, driven and edged left entering final furlong, one pace
Resounding Glory chased leaders, ridden along over 2f out, driven and gradually weakened over 1f out
Eternal Legacy held up in midfield, headway over 2f out, soon ridden to chase leaders and switched left over 1f out, driven and one pace inside final furlong
Full Victory never better than midfield
Champain Sands dwelt, held up, always in rear
Benfleet Boy prominent, ridden along over 3f out and soon weakened
Phluke in touch, ridden along 3f out, soon weakened
Isphahan, another 3lb higher, was again given every chance and he only got reeled in near the line. He has developed into a most consistent sort and is not weighted out of winning again yet.
Thunderstruck did not get the best of runs around two furlongs out and deserves to be rated a touch better than the bare form, but he is not easy to predict.
Harvest Warrior was upsides the winner two furlongs out, but lacked the gear change of his rival. He probably just wants a slightly stiffer test.
Sotik Star can have no excuses from his 2lb higher mark, but Champain Sands found a troubled passage and is better than he was able to show.
