The smallest field assembled for the Hardwicke since 1992, uncompetitive to boot for form and potential, Crystal Ocean outstripping his rivals on both counts, but he produced one of the best recent performances in the race, not hard pressed to do so either, with his rider not once going for the whip; the pace steadied around halfway with the field still well bunched over 2f out, masking the winners' true authority.
