The after-effects of COVID-19 forced a change from Royal Ascot '19 in terms of the schedule, with the resurrection of this race after its removal from the meeting following the 2014 edition providing the first of 6 additional handicaps on the week, plus a new maximum field limit of 24 that this was set to hit until the withdrawal of Lethal Lunch; despite that hiatus and reduction in numbers, it was basically business as usual for a handicap on the straight course here, as the field split into 3 groups, the higher-drawn pack near-side - stalls 18 and up - holding the edge as it turned out in perhaps a sign of things to come for the remainder of the week.
