Another muddling finish on this card, one who looked like being tailed off leaving the back coming through to wear down the strong-travelling runner-up, the 3 that challenged entering the straight barely seeing a race out between them.

STRONG ECONOMY (IRE) 7 weeks on from reappearance, won second time out as he'd done last season, though it didn't look likely at all turning in; raced off the pace, pecked thirteenth, outpaced home turn and looked held, rallied from 4 out, challenged between last 2, led when not fluent last, responded well to hold off runner-up.

UP HELLY AA KING went like the best horse at the weights only to be picked off by one who came from even further back, though this form is hardly solid; in touch with rider biding time, smooth headway entering straight, led on bridle 3 out, tackled between last 2, headed last, kept on.

BUDDHA SCHEME (IRE) back down in trip, shaped better than the distance beaten suggests, making his effort earlier than the front pair in a muddling race; mid-field, headway under pressure after fifteenth, led entering straight, headed 3 out, faded after next.

GLITTERING LOVE (IRE) uneasy in the market, went backwards from reappearance, though he did make his effort earlier than 2 of the 3 who beat him; prominent, awkward fifth, pushed along after fifteenth, faded from 3 out.

CRANK EM UP (IRE) without the headgear after just 5 days off, ran poorly once more; disputed lead, lost place when hit eleventh, struggling fourteenth.

CAPARD KING (IRE) back in headgear, attracted support but shaped as if amiss after just 4 days off, even allowing for the fact that he made his effort earlier than ideal; disputed lead, left in front eleventh, headed entering straight, weakened badly and pulled up 3 out.
