A large field of established smart/useful performers were seen off by a filly going places, for all that she had the run of things, the second and third regulars at a higher level, this a smart effort from one who will surely be winning pattern events if she's kept in training, a 4-y-o but still at an early stage of her career; the field racing as one group.

SILENT ESCAPE (IRE) progressed again, taking the rise in class in her stride, a Group winner in the waiting, races at a high level likely to be within her com if she's kept in training as a 5-y-o, this essentially just her first season; soon led, went with zest, shaken up over 1f out, kept on well, won readily; likely to progress further, all in all an exciting prospect still.

D'BAI (IRE) ran well again, this ironically a deeper race than the Group 2 in which he was runner-up the previous weekend; held up, not settle fully, effort over 2f out, kept on, took second inside final 1f, no impression on winner.

AL SUHAIL ran creditably, primarily not good enough against a rival going places and losing out on second after trying to get past her, perhaps an element of his being a little soft as well; tracked pace, took keen hold, shaken up under 2f out, not quicken inside final 1f.

RIVER NYMPH shaped encouragingly after 4 months off, doing good work late on, likely to put him spot on for the Heritage Handicap in which he's entered at Ascot in 2 weeks; slowly into stride, held up, ridden over 2f out, kept on well final 1f, nearest at the finish.

WITH THANKS (IRE) ran creditably after 10 weeks off, this easily her most encouraging effort of the year, showing she retains her ability; waited with, shaken up over 2f out, not quicken, kept on inside final 1f.

MATTHEW FLINDERS ran respectably, in a stronger race than the one at this level he contested 2 starts ago; in touch, shaken up over 2f out, not quicken, kept on final 1f.

SYMBOLIZE (IRE) ran respectably, up in grade, though never quite finding the pace to get in a blow; patiently ridden, effort over 2f out, plugged on final 1f, never on .

TOMFRE wasn't disgraced after 3 months off, shaping as if the run were just needed; led early, remained prominent, shaken up over 2f out, not quicken, faded final 1f.

ALBASHEER (IRE) wasn't disgraced, in a much tougher race than on his return, though he was a bit too keen to last home back at 7f; soon steadied, not settle fully, ridden 2f out, not quicken, weakened final 1f.

FUNDAMENTAL is best excused the run, even if he still had plenty to do when he first met trouble; held up, ridden when badly hampered 2f out, hampered again inside final 1f, not recover.

MUMS TIPPLE (IRE) was below form, hard to draw positives from the effort, in truth; in touch, ridden over 2f out, faded final 1f.

BARADAR (IRE) offered little after a 2-month break; held up, ridden over 2f out, made no impression.

WONDER ELMOSSMAN (IRE) was flying too high in this grade; in touch, labouring after 3f out.

SNASH (IRE) offered little after 7 months off, facing a stiff task in this grade; handy, ridden 3f out, weakened 2f out.

ACE AUSSIE (IRE) in first-time tongue strap, probably shouldn't have run, in a state beforehand (also appeared to bite tongue) and running no sort of race; slowly into stride, off the bridle long way out, always behind.
