Certainly a competitive renewal of the Queen Anne, this the biggest field in recent times, but it can't really be classed as a top-quality one; favourite Six Perfections wasn't close to her best and Refuse to Bend didn't have to produce the sort of effort it has sometimes taken to win this, even before it was upgraded to Group 1 status last year; the field all converged towards the stand rail, Godolphin's Lateen Sails dictating rather than stretching them from the off, and the first 2 both raced close up throughout, the third doing really well to finish as close as he did.
