Not a vintage renewal of one of the most prestigious sprint handicaps of the season, with no 3-y-os in the line-up for the second year in succession, and only 4 horses off BHB marks of 100 or more in a race open to those rated up to 110; also, for all that the majority came into the race in form, few were unexposed, and the winner was one of only a handful to look well treated beforehand; the field split, those drawn 1-13 forming a group on the stand side and the remainder going far side; there seemed no advantage either way in that respect, though tactically few got into the race from well back in either bunch.
