wasn't well placed when the pace quickened early in the straight but took time to get going all the same, doing his best work late and leaving the impression a truly-run race at this trip (or maybe even further) will bring the very best out of him nowadays, no surprise if he runs well under a big weight in the Northumberland Plate in a fortnight; held up, shaken up 4f out, not quicken, kept on well final 1f, took second close home.

making turf debut, was in first-time cheekpieces after 8 weeks off and seemed to excel himself in the face of a stiff task, but it's probably best to rate him on previous form for now given that he was never properly in the hunt and it was by no means a truly-run race; held up, ridden over 3f out, made no impression.

It was always on the cards this would be tactical to some extent, Without A Fight wisely asked to go prominent at an early stage with Kemari dictating and the pair getting a jump on the rest when kicking on early in the straight, John Leeper seemingly better than the result in doing his best work late. WITHOUT A FIGHT (IRE) had contested pattern races previously this season and benefited from the slight drop in grade, given a smart ride as he successfully conceded 3 lb all round, his speed for shorter standing him in good stead the way the race developed; went prominent after 2f, ridden over 3f out, led under 2f out, driven out.
