A new slot for the Windsor Castle, previously the last race on the first day, and it's hard to think it deserves such a prominent pitch - the Jersey, for one, more deserving - plenty in a large field vanity runners, though the form of the principals was on a par with the supposedly superior Norfolk Stakes, the first 2 good enough to have gone close in that event; the field split essentially into 2 groups, Rolling King taking the larger far-side one along at an overly strong pace, the relatively more measured tempo on the stand side bringing the first 2 home in that group the main spoils, the second and third coming from a long way back.
