As ever, plenty of useful and in-form runners for a valuable and prestigious prize, though tactics as much as the draw played a part; the field split into 2 groups, those drawn 21-32 racing on the far side, where Commanding and Norton were largely ignored by the pack there, which consequently had too much to do as a result, including with the stand-side group, which produced the first 6 home; the pace wasn't strong on either side.
