Godolphin-raced three-year-old Plague Stone recorded his second stakes victory in ten starts in winning here. He settled back in ninth place, between runners, tracking a reasonable tempo. Larry Cassidy got him in the clear on turning for home and he kept finishing well in the sprint for the line to grab a narrow but good win. Typhoon Ace raced back in 11th, improved (wide out) nearing the home turn and kept running on very well in the straight for (short head) second. Amanaat settled in second last place in the 13-horse field, switched deeper and into clear running at the 200m and then came with a really strong late run for third in a promising first-up performance. The winner's stablemate Badajoz raced back in 10th place, was blocked on straightening and made good late ground when clear for (1.6 lengths) fourth.
