With two wins and three seconds in his previous five starts, Fiery Heights is enjoying great form. He was first away from barrier eight and headed for the rail to take up the pace when they settled. He looked comfortable, out by a length around the bend and into the straight. Rider James Orman took advantage when they straightened and pushed him out by two lengths inside the 150m to have the chasers in trouble but was challenged hard late to just hold on for career win nine and his maiden stakes win. Ten-year-old Irish Constabulary was forward of midfield (rails) at the 500m but had to wait for a run when straightening. Once in the clear, he pulled out and flashed home between runners for a close second. Isaurian kept up a sustained run from midfield and wide on the turn for a good third. Dothraki warmed up late between runners to fly into fourth.
