was ridden much more patiently than had been the case at Newbury and that probably didn't show him to best advantage, for all that this was an advance in form terms; held up, travelled well, headway 3 out, not quicken straight, stayed on after last, no impression on winner; will stay beyond 17f; open to further improvement.

A Grade 2 novice featuring some potentially useful sorts, though one or 2 weren't seen to best advantage, lacking the speed for the test off a relatively steady pace, though it would be wrong not to give due credit to the winner, who clearly wasn't seen to advantage last time, his performance not in the same class as Yanworth's in this last season, but of a similar standard to other recent winners.
