The smallest field for a 2-y-o race at the meeting so far, though still big enough to split into 2 groups, in contrast to the Queen Mary and Windsor Castle, where the higher numbers had the advantage, and the Coventry, where there seemed little between the 2 groups, the group that raced far side dominated, the 7 to race there including 6 of the first 7 home; the favourite Elite State had already shown form good enough to win most recent runnings of the race, but he couldn't quite repeat that, beaten by an unconsidered pair, the winner the joint-longest priced scorer in Royal Ascot history, his performance a huge improvement on his first 2 efforts, but given full credit for it for now, the form not far off that shown by the winner of the Coventry.
