The favourite emerged on top, continuing her own progress, but this would probably have been a different - more competitive - race on summer ground, plenty unable to do themselves justice under these conditions, making for flimsy form and an unusual listed event in that one - Thatsallimsaying - was out on her own in front for most of the way, only Whatdoiwantthatfor able to catch her.

WHATDOIWANTTHATFOR (IRE) hasn't put a foot wrong so far in her career, improving all the while, messing with the top fillies' formline (through Besharah) in the Princess Margaret but straight back on the winning path with her sights reset slightly lower for this, doing well to boot as the only one able to catch the front-runner, mowing her down in the last 50 yds, the testing ground probably helping her with the trip.

THATSALLIMSAYING (IRE) had relished soft ground when off the mark at Chepstow, and a plan was clearly in place to fire that weapon to the full, almost coming off, very positively ridden and breaking all bar the favourite, succumbing to her in the last 50 yds, but clear of the rest; she's got far in just 4 races, but it's likely she's already at the peak of her powers, somewhat conditional at that.

PITY CASH (IRE) has often been up against it with the company she's kept, looking the case again here, hence her SP, and her pre-race rating was enough for a place with others failing to fire, always chasing her stablemate, sticking to the task; this isn't the upturn it might seem.

SHADOW HUNTER (IRE) another promising run on the face of it, more so considering the grade, given a listed shot so soon, as a maiden, though was ridden to pick up any pieces, job done in that sense, late headway getting her fourth, less green under pressure this time.

EJAAZAH (IRE) is more at home in this company than the end result portrays, Sandown the time before suggesting it, and she went well for a long way here, seemingly just found out in the end by contrasting ground to what she'd encountered previously, in second approaching the last 1f.

LITTLE VOICE (USA) coming off the back of an overdue maiden win, her form short of what's required at this level, and the tactic appeared to be sweeping up late in hope rather than expectation, still last approaching the final 1f, doing what she could thereafter.

SIXTIES SUE mightn't have improved so much as appeared the case in winning (at the tenth attempt) earlier in the week, put in her place in this better race, fading.

MADAME THUNDER (IRE) has flown fairly high since her debut win, back under similar conditions for this but falling below what she'd achieved on her first 2 starts, no blaming the ground in her case.

ROCKING RUDOLPH (USA) a world away from the fibresand maiden she'd made short work of first time up, but shaped better than the result, awkwardly away but travelling better than most and catching a bump over 1f out, exaggerating her defeat; there's improvement in her.

MUHADATHAT has done her developing under firmer conditions, plus 5f has seemed too sharp for her in better company the last twice, off the bridle before most again here, but gathering momentum when running into trouble over 1f out.

CALYPSO CHOIR should still do better, remembering her Bath promise, and was in at the deep end here, but chased up the leader for a fair way, before the company and/or the ground took its toll.

SHRILL presumably failed to cope with the ground, very different to what she'd faced at home in Ireland where she'd made a good start to her career.
