WELSH DRAGON was making his handicap debut after just the minimum three runs. He had worked well here when tried out on the surface, and he won well, but it would be risky to get carried away with the form as he enjoyed the run of the race, dictating a steady pace and quickening off the bend.
Bollywood, similarly unexposed, had shown just a glimmer of ability previously but appeared to enjoy the Polytrack and ran creditably, just shading the three-time selling winner Casablanca Mix, who came around the outside, for second.
*Adam Kirby reported that Ridgeway Cross ran too free.
*Hayley Turner reported that Mine The Balance ran too free.
