tracked leaders, ridden over 4f out, weakened over 2f out
stumbled soon after start, headway on outer to track winner over 9f out until ridden over 5f out, soon lost place, plugged on final furlong

dwelt towards rear, ridden 5f out, never on terms
tracked winner, ridden 3f out, kept on same pace
in touch in rear, ridden 5f out, never on terms
raced wide in touch, headway to 3rd over 4f out, ridden to chase clear winner 3f out, no threat to winner
None of this bunch make much appeal but something has got to win so the token vote goes to KYLLACHYKOV. Beaten only a head here earlier in the year, Robin Bastiman's charge finished ahead of Solarmaite when fourth over track and trip last time. But the latter only has a length to find to reverse running while Politbureau has a shout on his best form on Turf. Troy Boy has been placed over a shorter trip on Polytrack but that was in an even worse contest than this.
