won this race from just a 1 lb lower mark 12 months ago and proved better than ever to win it more emphatically this time around, a campaign that's perhaps being geared around the autumn paying off now as he's clearly thriving at a point in the year when others are going off the boil; raced far side, waited with, smooth headway 2f out, led final 100 yds, kept going well.

whose last run is easily excused, wasted no time getting back to form and did well under the circumstances, the only one drawn high to be involved in the finish; raced near side, forced pace, went with zest, headed over 1f out, edged left, kept on; she's still to be tried at listed/Group level against her own sex and would probably be up to winning such a race if given the opportunity, whilst on this evidence she could yet land a big 5f handicap.
