Aerobatics was quickly away and settled in a good spot, fourth one out and one back.

She moved up nicely shortly after straightening, being quietly ridden by Christian Reith, before hitting the lead at the 100m. She then drew clear to score a good win by a length at the post.

Plucky Belle was also smartly away, she was then eased and settled in sixth place one off the rails. She moved up on turning for home, got to fourth at the 100m and fought on to grab second in a photo.

The favourite Cosmic Endeavour was caught deep from her barrier (10) and raced midfield, wide with cover. She switched out rounding the home turn and kept making ground, getting up for a sound third, beaten just over a length, after a difficult trip.

Miss Stellabelle raced outside the leader, went to the front at the 200m and held on quite well for (1.3 lengths) fourth. Belle De Coeur went back from her outside barrier (14) and did well running on from near last to finish (2.3 lengths) fifth.
