A slightly depleted field thanks to rain-softened ground didn't make this much less competitive and, unlike the Britannia and Hunt Cup on the 2 preceding days, it provided a level playing field as regards the draw, the field splitting as in those races (split came between Directorship in 18 and Emilio Largo in 19) but each group sticking to their respective rails and showing the benefit, virtually all having their chance if good enough and little to split the principals on either side at the finish, the result essentially an accurate guide to the current standing of some in-form and well-treated horses, plenty of whom will be of strong interest near to hand.
