An inconsistent bunch on the whole, but it was a well-run affair and there’s no doubting that the reinvigorated winner produced a career-best effort under an aggressive ride.

THEMANFROM MINELLA (IRE) back up in trip, has been revitalised by the application of blinkers and proved better than ever to record his biggest success to date under an attacking front-running ride; disputed lead, went on second, ridden approaching straight, in command 2 out, stayed on well before eased near finish; he's clearly thriving, though it remains to be seen how long the blinkers will continue to have a positive effect.

BLAMEITALONMYROOTS (IRE) back up in trip, ran well reverting to more positive tactics in first-time cheekpieces after 6 weeks off, proving she retains all of her ability; in touch, jumped right, travelled fluently, went prominent early final circuit, ridden from 3 out, kept on, no impression on winner.

DAWSON CITY turned in his best effort of the season, somewhat typically doing his best work when the race was all but over; chased leaders, lost place leaving back straight, fifth 3 out, stayed on again from 2 out and snatched third on line.

COURT FRONTIER (IRE) ran one of his better races back chasing, though he hardly went about things in a fluent fashion; held up, went in snatches, headway under pressure after 5 out, plugged on to briefly take third on the run-in.

CYCLOP (IRE) again ran well, no excuses required from a 3 lb higher mark; chased leaders, ridden from 4 out, third last, no extra near finish.

BARTON GIFT again ran below form; disputed lead briefly early, remained prominent, lost place before eleventh, behind from next, pulled up before 3 out.

ROYAL PALLADIUM (FR) ran poorly after 10 weeks off; held up, not fluent fourth, took closer order from fifth, lost place tenth, struggling next, tailed off when pulled up before 3 out.

WUFF (IRE) ran no sort of race; waited with, reminders from sixth, labouring badly from next, tailed off when pulled up before eighth, downed tools.

RATHLIN ROSE (IRE) possibly found the race coming too soon just 12 days after his Welsh National exertions, acknowledging tame finishes are nothing new to him; waited with, travelled fluently, some headway before 5 out, ridden before next, weakened leaving back straight, pulled up before 3 out.
