A well-up-to-standard renewal of the Diamond Jubilee, even though the foreign challenge wasn't nearly so strong as it can sometimes be, not a single runner from Ireland, Australia and Hong Kong, just one American sprinter and 3 from France from outside Britain, none of that quartet figuring significantly; the race was strongly run and, with the wind having moved round against the runners, all the principals came from well off the pace, pacesetting Suedois and Kachy better than the result, while several found trouble in running as well, space at a premium as the field migrated to the far side rail, those also deserving extra credit; the finish was tight and might have gone one of 3 ways if the cards had fallen differently, the winner hampering the third and, indirectly, the runner-up late on, the stewards right under the rules to leave the result unaltered, for all that the runner-up might have won without a bump, a rematch between the principals in the July Cup hopefully on the cards, when the best 3-y-os will present strong opposition too.
