Race time recorded.

In-running (Kashchei (GB))

“Settled up with the pace early - drifted back through midfield 3 out - rallied approaching 2 out - into 4th before the last - rider briefly adrift in the saddle over the run-in - rallied to challenge in 2nd - hit the front inside the final furlong and a half - kept finding more to the line”
