Chart notes

HOW LOVELY (IRE) followed in range three deep, moved into the two path on the turn, came three wide into the stretch, challenged from outside at the eighth pole and drove clear. POLYTHENE PAM chased between rivals early, saved ground on the rail around the turn, launched a rail bid into the final furlong and got up for second. SOPHISTRY was closet in pursuit in the early going, chased from inside then loomed two wide turning for home, put a head in front outside the eighth pole but got outkicked by the top pair in the late stages. APPROVAL RATING broke a step slow and inward, trailed two wide into the turn, chased outside a rival at the quarter pole, came out midstretch and kept on to whittle the gap late. HOW ABOUT PAVEL chased inside rivals early, fell out of range leaving the backstretch, saved ground around the bend, asked right-handed entering the lane, switched to the left-hand in the drive and could not rally. FONDEST DREAM (GB) raced a bit keenly under a hold while traveling widest early, angled to the two path for the turn, tipped three wide around the bend and could not rally. SPECIAL LOOK established the front quickly and angled in, showed the way a bit off the rail into the drive, lost command outside the eighth pole and folded.
