The largest field for the Coventry since 2018, featuring 9 unbeaten runners, all bar 2 of the 20 having won at least once, a trio standing out on form, at the head of the market, having already run close to the level required to win an average renewal; 2 of those 3 made the frame, split by a pair that improved markedly on a promising debut win, each of that quartet previously unbeaten, the winner River Tiber, giving his trainer Aidan O'Brien a tenth success in the race, producing a performance on a par with most recent winners, though behind the level shown by such as Calyx and Caravaggio; the field raced as 2 groups, the split coming at stall 8, the intended runners drawn 9 and 10 withdrawn after becoming upset in the stalls, the smaller far-side group holding the lead narrowly over the near side, though the result hardly suggests a great advantage, the pace holding up well, the first 4 always towards the head of affairs, but essentially just the best runners in a race with a sound gallop.
