Hyland Colours Challenge Stks (G2)
Miracles Of Life settled in an ideal spot from her inside barrier (1) back in fifth place being suited by a strong tempo. She moved up well nearing the 300m, swept to the front at the 200m and then raced away for a very smart first-up win. Va Pensiero was fourth, one out and one back. He challenged nearing the 200m and then battled on well for second, beaten two and a quarter lengths, in a good effort on resuming. Rubick was third on the rails to the home turn. He looked for a run but was checked at the 300m, dropped back to fifth at the 200m and ran on again for third after trouble at a vital stage. Knoydart was last in the nine-horse field to the home turn and caught the eye running on late for (2.5 lengths) fourth. Famous Seamus was near last on the rails and also made late ground for (3.3 lengths) fifth while Mossfun was well back in sixth place to the home turn and then kept battling on, making ground without threatening, for (4 lengths) sixth.
