COCHLEAR, up 6lb for a course and distance win here a fortnight ago, is now set for a hefty hike following this commanding display. He's obviously taken well to the artificial surface and, after a gap opened well over a furlong out, settled the issue in a matter of strides.

Those closest to the six length winner all came from well off the pace. ROCKAZAR was slowly into stride from the stalls but stayed on well on the outer in the straight, while MO CHEOIL THU also got going inside the final quarter mile to take third. BRICKS AND PORTER was well in rear and still had just one behind a furlong out but kept on well when switched to the outer. DISTANT PIPER was another to come home well from an impossible position before the straight, and this four-time winner is one to keep in mind after this promising seasonal debut.

FEREEJI adopted his usual role up with the pace but had no answer to the winner, keeping on one paced in fourth. YAMEEL likewise is another fond of forcing tactics but was a spent force well over a furlong out, while ZAHARATH AL BUSTAN held every chance two furlong out but could find no extra.
