Kings College Boy did the donkey work on the near side and only gave way to the winner late in the day. He appreciated the drop into this grade, goes on any ground, and rates a sound benchmark for the form.
Ursus, who met some support, came through to win the race on the far side and would have been seen to better advantage off a stronger pace. The same can be said of Grimes Faith, who was given every chance on the far side and ran a fair race in defeat.
