This Listed contest looked competitive on paper with four recent winners in the line-up, but Georgebernardshaw turned the race into a procession with a visibly impressive display. He was left in front at halfway and drew clear of the field without ever coming off the bridle. The winner has the options of Irish, English and French Guineas and will have no problem seeing out the extra furlong.

Mr Medici (2/1 to 6/4) was backed on the strength of his easy victory in a three-runner race at Cork, but found this too tough and never picked up when asked for his effort two furlongs from home.
