A poor maiden gets proceedings under way and not many can be given a serious chance of winning but the principals look to be Sharaby, Why Now and Whitethorne and the confident vote is given to Sharaby. The selection was a good second behind Excusez Moi last time out and although the drop in trip is a slight worry he is sure to have come on for the run and will be hard to beat. Why Now rates the main danger on his latest third behind Matsunosuke as he was doing all his best work at the finish and is sure to be suited by this stiffer test of stamina. Whitethorne is another with place claims after his latest second behind Persea but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip so he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Hits Only Cash is from a yard in form but has had plenty of chances and for the winner we return to Sharaby.
