One of the new races added to the Royal Ascot programme in this extraordinary summer and as a supposed one-off it was clearly a success, attracting a strong field, open to a slightly higher grade than the Ascot Stakes and filling with just a 9 lb weight range, likely to be some calls for retaining it, plenty of these likely to be of interest in the coming weeks, for all that the winner was as decisive a scorer as would be seen in a handicap at this meeting; the pace was rather stop-start and things became messy at a couple of points, but the trouble caused had no significant impact on the result.
