Chart notes

MINISTER FOR MAGIC drifted in at the break and bumped with a drifting out AMPERSAND, came in soon after and bumped again with AMPERSAND who in turn was forced into BUSTIN LOOSE, corrected and forced the pace outside FLOAT ON, moved to slim lead into the lane, edged clear under a drive near mid stretch then held sway while kept alert. AMPERSAND drifted out a bit at the break and bumped with the winner, corrected briefly then was bumped and forced in by that rival soon after, steadied back off foes when in a bit tight near the five eighths, regrouped and chased a contested pace, circled four wide into the stretch and finished gamely. FLOAT ON , bumped at the break, took over early and set a pressured pace inside, dueled on near even terms while under a hustling ride past the five sixteenths, could not quite keep pace with the winner in upper stretch, shifted out after that one cleared then faded in deep stretch. BUSTIN LOOSE , bumped and squeezed back at the break, regrouped and settled in the clear, came four wide for the drive, drifted in near mid stretch and came up empty. KEEPING IT COUNTRY , sluggish from the gate, was taken wide early and failed to get involved. An objection by the rider of AMPERSAND against the winner alleging interference leaving the gate was not allowed.
