Taking Aim broke through for a hard fought win here. Drawn one, under jockey Hugh Bowman, he settled midfield early. Bowman hugged the fence to the home straight, camped in behind the leading group who fanned wide leaving plenty of room. Taking Aim was ready to pounce at the 300m, led at the 200m then withstood several challenges to hold on bravely at the post. Dissolution was midfield turning in, switched to the inner and got the split inside at the 100m then charged at the leader, just failing to nab him on the line. Lord Cecil was back and wide turning in then ran on strongly for a good third, but a little late from Cabin Fever who held on for fourth after being handy throughout.
