Peter Island did the donkey work but he kept on well to finish a clear second best.
The Terrier had a good first season and she did enough on her reappearance to suggest that she will continue in the right vein this term.
Imperial Sword ran well on his seasonal return and was not disgraced here.
Rosita Mia kept on in the closing stages to be nearest at the finish. It was her seasonal bow and she may be capable of better with this run under herbelt.
Grafton had cried enough inside the final quarter-mile and is not quite firing at present.
*Neil Pollard reported that Rosita Mia was denied a clear run.
