After bolting in by more than three lengths on debut, something similar was expected here and favourite Ardrossan lived up to that promise with a decisive win. Rider Danielle Johnson took full advantage of barrier one and shot the colt to the front. They were pressured soon after to the home straight but Johnson did not panic, gave him a shake once balanced and they drew away. Inside the 200m, the race was safe and they eased a little to win very comfortably.

Haussmann was last around the last corner, was widest at the top of the straight, still last at the 300m and ran on best of the rest for second.

Aquilo had no luck, turned for home second last, was blocked for a run several times then flashed into third late from Not Usual Trip who had every chance but kept on for fourth.
