A few of these were in fair form but only a handful still counted in the straight. SMART BOY PRINCE was better than this at his peak and showed he retains ability, getting a good ride for the track as he was always prominent, led 6f out and had enough left to hold on. There was no doubting his stamina here and he could score again in modest staying company.

Habitual front-runner Blue Hills could not dominate this time but still ran well under a penalty for his recent Wolverhampton victory, going down only narrowly and coming clear of Brennie, who proved she handles fibresand but who lacks the finishing pace to turn her run of placed efforts into wins, and Maunby Reveller, who shaped a little better than in recent hurdling efforts.
