While they looked to go in quite deeply around the bends, jockeys reported the ground riding to its official status rather than softer. The slow time had as much to do with the steady pace for some two miles of the trip.
ALFASONIC remains progressive, and again showed his abundant stamina, which will stand him in good stead when he goes over fences. He was the first of the front three to be shoved along into the straight, but was well on top up the run-in as Ballyjohnboy Lord looked to run out of stamina over this extreme trip. He travelled well passing three miles but blundered at the last to betray his tiredness and he lost second on the line to Before Dark.
Charango Star was off the bit from an early stage and was shoved up to take the lead, but he was another outpaced at the business end.
