had been a dual winner over jumps since last seen on the Flat and is clearly thriving right now, better than ever by some way to run out an emphatic winner, admittedly with a very good 5-lb claimer on board, but it was still a smart performance even when taking that into account; mid-division, travelled powerfully, loomed up 2f out, produced to lead approaching final 1f, soon clear; in his current mood he'll merit respect wherever he turns up next, be it Flat or jumps.

has kept improving all season and did so again to finish second in this top handicap from a mark 11 lb higher than when successfull over C&D in June, admittedly with a good-value 7-lb claimer taking over in the saddle; raced off the pace, pushed along over 3f out, good headway out wide over 1f out, kept on well, no impression on winner; likely to continue in form.

Europe's richest handicap will always be competitive and there was only 11 lb between the top weight and bottom weight in this year's renewal, the norm nowadays that it's tight in that regard, again no 3-y-os able to make the cut with the weight-for-age allowance taken into account, instead contested largely by talented-but-exposed types, and it says a lot that each of the first 3 were ridden by apprentice jockeys easing the burden; it was a soundly-run race and the principals all came from at least mid-division, whilst there was only a little in-running trouble, Oceanographer the unlucky one on that score. HEARTBREAK CITY (FR) had been a dual winner over jumps since last seen on the Flat and is clearly thriving right now, better than ever by some way to run out an emphatic winner, admittedly with a very good 5-lb claimer on board, but it was still a smart performance even when taking that into account; mid-division, travelled powerfully, loomed up 2f out, produced to lead approaching final 1f, soon clear; in his current mood he'll merit respect wherever he turns up next, be it Flat or jumps.

QUICK JACK (IRE) was fit from a creditable effort in the Galway Hurdle and ran well, his best ever run on the Flat, aided by a useful 7-lb claimer; slowly into stride, raced off the pace, headway out wide over 3f out, chased leaders entering final 1f, kept on.
