A good nursery for the grade, all 5 of these coming here with interesting profiles and the first 4 all emerge with credit from a race which was a real test for these juveniles in the conditions; Rioca took them along at a fair pace but the winner, who was one of the first off the bridle, stayed on the strongest.

VIREN'S ARMY (IRE) resumed winning ways over 1f longer trip, relishing the testing conditions as he had done when winning his maiden, and looking to possess the stamina for even further; held up, off the bridle before most, headway over 1f out, stayed on to lead well inside final 1f; sure to go well again.

DAL HARRAILD ran well making nursery debut over this 1f longer trip after 5 weeks off, looking capable of winning from this sort of mark; dwelt, held up, headway 2f out, stayed on to lead final 1f, headed close home; will go on improving, especially given he's bred to stay further still.

MACHINE LEARNER on softer ground than previously, ran creditably over 1f longer trip after 6 weeks off, moving through the race well and just seeming to lose out to a couple of stronger stayers late on; mid-field, led 2f out, headed final 1f, no extra close home; likely to continue in form.

RIOCA (IRE) wasn't disgraced in first-time cheekpieces over this 1f longer trip, looking as though she may drop out once headed but sticking to her task as if middle distances will ultimately be her thing; led, headed 2f out, hung left, one paced; in good hands and remains with potential.

BATHOS (IRE) found excellent run of form coming to a halt without an obvious reason, already having proven himself with cut in the ground and previously shaping as if this 1f longer trip shouldn't be a problem for him; prominent, challenged 2f out, weakened final 1f; type to bounce back quickly.
