A modest handicap notable for a gamble on the winner, Darcy's Friend proving a different proposition entirely on his debut for a new stable, the pair that pulled clear with him both shaping well. DARCY'S FRIEND (IRE) had shown next to nothing when trained by S. M.

CRESCENT MOON (FR) shaped as if back in form back under less testing conditions, just not able to sustain a big move from well back; held up, not always fluent, headway out wide around 2 out, in contention last, effort flattened out.
