A quite valuable fillies' handicap that went to a 3-y-o for the fifth time in 6 renewals; it was very much a tactical affair, the time over 2 seconds slower than the handicap that closed the card, but the all-the-way winner looks progressive anyway, while the third did well to make inroads from last.

HOT FLAME had not been able to get to grips with the all-the-way winner on reappearance 5 weeks earlier but was impressive with the boot firmly on the other foot this time; dictated, kicked on 2f out, found plenty; this clearly panned out well for her but she looks a progressive type all the same and can prosper further, particularly upped to 1½m, a Group 1 entry in the Fillies and Mares on British Champions Day implying as much.

SALAMANCA CITY (IRE) again gave her running, always well positioned behind the leader, but was no match for her less-exposed rival in the final analysis; tracked pace, ridden over 1f out, no extra late on.

CONSECRATED was ridden with much more restraint upped in trip after a 12-week absence and swiftly got back on track, deserving extra credit given such tactics put her at a disadvantage the way the race developed; dropped out, headway over 2f out, kept on well inside final 1f; she's sure to progress again granted a stronger pace at 1¼m and can win from this mark.

MUSIC PIECE (IRE) performed with credit despite her finishing effort once again leaving something to be desired after travelling up well; chased leaders, progress over 2f out, one paced.

FLYING FINN (IRE) has a win in the mud here that stands out in her record but she's not well treated judged on all other form and was readily left behind after another 3 months off; chased leaders, outpaced from 2f out.

ALBANY found this in marked contrast to her latest outing, the lack of pace doing her no favours whatsoever, poorly placed tactically and requiring a stiffer test anyway at this trip; waited with, took keen hold, switched 3f out, brief headway 2f out, weakened approaching final 1f.
