Even by the normal standards of the County this was run at a blistering pace courtesy of Prairie Dancer yet its trademark competitiveness meant more than half of them still held hopes entering the straight before the final wave of patiently-ridden ones swept right through, a pair at opposite ends of the weights - and age scale - split by little distance in a head-to-head from the last ahead of another contrasting duo not seen to quite the same effect for differing reasons, pointing towards an up-to-scratch renewal as opposed to a notably strong one for all other leading races such as the Betfair and Liffey were well represented.
