Straightforward form to assess, with the well-handicapped winner chased home by a pair with solid efforts to their name from earlier in the season; the pace was sound.

HEAD TO THE STARS back down in trip, confirmed promise of last run to finally get off the mark in this sphere; held up, crept closer from halfway, stayed on to lead last, driven out; should continue to give a good account.

BOBO MAC (IRE) is building up a good record at this track and returned to form retried in cheekpieces; patiently ridden, challenged straight, keeping on when mistake last, rallied.

ANOTHER VENTURE (IRE) wasted no time getting back to form, though he didn't see it out as well as might have been expected, given his proven stamina; chased leader, jumped soundly, kicked on leaving home turn, headed last and even lost second close home.

ROLL AGAIN (FR) shaped similarly to last time, this second successive capitulation tempering enthusiasm about his short-term prospects even if dropped back in trip; made running, jumped fine, headed home turn, folded.

STATION MASTER (IRE) fared no better after 3 months off and seems to have completely lost form; mid-division, lost touch from early final circuit.

CAP ST VINCENT (FR) has work to do from present mark but was below form all the same, this even longer trip probably not the issue; held up, driven home turn, soon done with.
