Beforehand, this didn't look a strong renewal of the meeting's showcase event, for all the line-up contained last year's runner-up Distinction, a Coronation Cup winner in Yeats, plus smart performers Media Puzzle (at one time), Reefscape and Sergeant Cecil; come the moment, the pace seemed no more than fair, placing something of an emphasis on speed, the winner well ridden the way things panned out, though he scored so emphatically that tactics (at least in his case) probably made no real odds.
