The anticipated match between the best the USA and Australia had to offer didn't materialise, Golden Pal trailing in last having botched the start, but even on top form he'd surely have struggled to live with Nature Strip, who produced an effort rivalled in the King's Stand in recent years only by Lady Aurelia and Blue Point, his win by a remarkably wide margin for a 5f race on firmish ground hammering home the difference between a genuinely top-class performer and the rather mediocre bunch that currently contest this division in Britain and Ireland; the pace was sound and the focal point of the race was nearer the stand side, the winner in front there by halfway and those drawn very low up against it; Golden Pal's slow start wasn't the only early drama, as Mondammej refused to enter the stalls and Khaadem left them without his rider, the latter declared a non-runner by the stewards.
