Not a well contested race for the grade even before taking into account the handful of disappointments on the day and the 8-y-o winner did it readily.

BREDEN (IRE) goes well at this track and when fresh, only 1 lb above his last winning mark too, and primed off a 10-week break he was back to his very best for a fifth career win; pressed leader, travelled strongly, led over 1f out, soon clear; this wasn't a strong race and a career-high mark probably beckons given the manner of it.

CONSIDERED OPINION handicapper seems in control but she ran up to her best, quickly back on track after Ascot; made running, headed over 1f out, kept on and gave her all in battle for second.

ALMOREB (IRE) ran respectably after 8 weeks off and, although he hasn't been quite at his very best all year, he's not done a lot wrong either and it's worth noting that his wins have come on all-weather or soft ground; prominent, pushed along over 2f out, one paced.

PROST (GER) was below form after 7 weeks off and is proving more miss than hit; tracked pace, ridden over 2f out, left behind final 1f.

REBEL ASSAULT (IRE) after just 7 days off, ran one of this season's lesser races, a busy spell maybe catching up with her; prominent, lost place 2f out, dropped away.

PLANT POT POWER (IRE) fared little better in first-time hood and is struggling for form at present; in touch, took strong hold, struggling 2f out, weakened; he has something to prove at present.

KESTREL DOT COM trained by Chris Dwyer in the UK in 2017, had run twice in Bahrain earlier in the year for Fawzi Abdulla Nass, and shaped as if amiss after 4 months off; in rear, pulled up over 3f out, reportedly bled.
