Slow — could be soft ground, easy lead, or tactical race.

In-running (Hot And Cold (GB))

Set pace but pressed throughout - displaced well over 2f out - kept battling in second - ridden back to the front inside the final furlong - held on resolutely

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Dark Sovereign

Dark Sovereign has been consistent throughout four outings and the step up in trip looks a natural progression — he appeared to need a more demanding test at Sandown last time and this extra distance should bring out his best; the trainer has a strong course record here. Legacy Rock is a progressive rival with two recent wins, Hot And Cold returns from a lengthy break but could prove well treated on what looks a generous mark, and Lyra Lea is another live contender if the quicker surface poses no problem. Dark Sovereign is our selection.
