is back in the groove, following up a recent Tipperary win to bag this prize for the second year running (awarded it last year), and deserves some extra credit, digging deep having been carried left by the wayward Toscanini in the final 1f; close up, challenged 2f out, carried left, led under pressure inside final 100 yds, kept going well; the Renaissance Stakes back here next month is reportedly next on his agenda.

A strong renewal of this Group 2, Gordon Lord Byron needing to come back to something like his best to win it, though a prominent position was probably a help, none of those held up landing a telling blow. GORDON LORD BYRON (IRE) is back in the groove, following up a recent Tipperary win to bag this prize for the second year running (awarded it last year), and deserves some extra credit, digging deep having been carried left by the wayward Toscanini in the final 1f; close up, challenged 2f out, carried left, led under pressure inside final 100 yds, kept going well; the Renaissance Stakes back here next month is reportedly next on his agenda. SOVEREIGN DEBT (IRE) as consistent as they come, found only one too good for the fourth start in a row, but had no excuses this time; mid-division, ridden over 2f out, effort entering final 1f, kept on; likely to continue in form. TOSCANINI (IRE) shaped as if still in good form, the return to 7f possibly just stretching him; forced pace, tackled over 1f out, hung left, no extra. ADAAY (IRE) failed to back up dubious latest effort, merely closing up late, a more severe form of headgear perhaps required already; mid-division, labouring 2f out, kept on, never a threat.
