Favourite Surfin’ Safari began quickly but he was trapped three wide without cover from his awkward barrier (9). He moved up (still three wide) outside the leading pair from the 800m, hit the front at the 200m and then fought back gamely for a narrow but good win after a difficult trip. Vanbrugh settled in sixth place, one off the rails. He improved (wide with cover) from the 700m, appeared to be the winner when he challenged at the 200m and then battled well for a good second. It was his first run since March, should continue to improve and looks quite promising. Godolphin’s Stalwart settled near last in the nine-horse field, switched deep at the 300m and made late ground for a good third.
