BUSINESS PLAN (9) shifted up the track on the home turn forcing an improving KERAMUS over extra ground.

BEADMAN (3) ran outwards into the first bend pushing CAWBOURNE POLLY wider on the track. CAWBOURNE POLLY then angled back down and checked ADULTEROUS (4) for a stride.

The co-trainer of the winner J Lane was questioned in regards to the significantly improved performance of OPAWA STYLE (5).
