made all and set decent pace, clear when ridden over 1f out, kept on strongly, unchallenged
held up and always last, short-lived effort on inside over 2f out, beaten final furlong
raced in 3rd throughout, pushed along entering home straight, plugged on but never going pace to threaten
Just the four runners but all have a chance. Tritonic was second in a Listed race at Hamilton before running in a Group 3 at Newbury. Thibaan is almost certain to run his race again while Star Of Wins has victories on fast ground at Windsor and Sandown to his name and deserves a crack at this higher level. EMISSARY finished second to Derby runner-up Khalifa Sat at Goodwood before running in the big race at Epsom. He refused to settle at Newmarket last month but could be good enough here if a first-time visor has the desired effect.
