Ottoman settled just behind the leaders, from her good barrier (2), travelling well. She got a split nearing the 200m, challenged strongly at the 100m and fought gamely to score by the barest of margins.

Her Godolphin stablemate Calaverite was smartly away and settled outside the leader (Serenade), she got to the front at the 200m and fought gamely for the closest of seconds.

Favourite Lake Geneva raced without cover (three wide). She moved up from the 600m, took a narrow lead at the 150m and then fought on in an exciting finish for a close-up third.

Sempre Libera was fifth, between runners, angled into the clear at the 200m and ran on well in the sprint home for a good (0.4 lengths) fourth. She should appreciate further and a more genuine tempo.

Serenade drove through from her inside barrier to lead and led the field to the 200m before finishing (1.4 lengths) fifth.
