A useful contest, though very few got involved, the thriving Moon River always going best and enhancing her fine record here, this a fourth success already in 2016, beating the previous track record in doing so; the runner-up also ran well, the pair pulling nicely clear of the rest. MOON RIVER (IRE) is going from strength to strength, coping well with the step up in grade, improving further to complete her hat-trick in a course-record time; tracked pace, travelled smoothly, went on over 2f out, asserted approaching final 1f, kept up to work; will continue to take all the beating on this surface. CLAIM THE ROSES (USA) had been gelded since last seen (in cheekpieces) 5 months earlier and was carrying 1 lb overweight, though he didn't go unbacked and showed improved form, unlucky to bump into a thriving rival; mid-division, headway under pressure 2f out, kept on well final 1f, nearest at the finish; one to keep on the right side. LEXINGTON TIMES (IRE) ran respectably making his fibresand debut; chased leaders, ridden 3f out, one paced. HIGHLAND COLORI (IRE) produced a laboured effort after 4 months off; slowly into stride, raced off the pace, went in snatches, driven home turn, stayed on from 2f out.
