An up-to-standard renewal of the Albany, 5 of the 6 that finished clear coming into the race unbeaten, the winner clearly a smart prospect, though the outcome of the race was dictated by the overly strong pace and to some extent track position, the few that stayed centre to near side at a disadvantage, those that chased the overly strong gallop set by Laxfield Rose even more so, signficantly only the sixth of the first 6 home raced anywhere near the gallop; Illuminate's success was a third for her first-season sire Zoffany at the meeting, after Washington DC and Waterloo Bridge, a remarkable achievement.
