A cautious view has to be taken of this form as the tactics employed by Jamie Spencer on the winner were surely paramount to his decisive win, ploughing a lone furrow as he stayed wide from the outset and then went to the far rail in the straight.

YOUNG JOHN (IRE) came out on top but was helped by the way things developed and may not be so good as it appears from this, starting to look exposed previously after all; raced centre, made all, switched to far rail around halfway, kept going well but had the benefit of an enterprising ride; will be back up to the sort of mark he's struggled off before next time and looks one to be taking on.

ENGLISH HERO whose last run is easily excused, ran creditably and deserves extra credit on the night; raced near side, held up, effort over 2f out, ran on, first home in group; things haven't fallen for him on recent starts but there's been clear promise and he may yet do better for this yard.

HANDYTALK (IRE) is no more than averagely treated but wasted no time getting back to form after poor effort last time; raced near side, chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, one paced.

ICE AGE (IRE) shaped better than the distance beaten suggests and probably remains in form; raced centre, chasing winner until switched to join main group at halfway (rather isolated on outer, though), driven over 1f out, no extra.

KING OF NAPLES was dropped in trip but was still keen and failed to build on the promise of last run, well below form; raced near side, held up, raced freely, headway 2f out, found less than looked likely.

SUQOOR was possibly unsuited by conditions back on turf; raced near side, led main group, weakened over 1f out; there's little doubt that he's better on all-weather but does at least have a split BHA mark now and a return to less testing ground in this sphere will probably make a difference.
