Chart notes

C MCGRIFF pressed the leader from the three to two path into the backstretch, forged an advantage as an outer rival offered a challenge around the far turn then drove clear in upper stretch. GETHSEMANE tracked from the three path, bid three wide around the far turn but proved no match for an inner rival in upper stretch then managed place. PAUL'S RECOVERY showed the way as the eventual winner prompted, yielded to that one and a wider challenger turning for home then kept on mildly. BHATIA came in at the start, trailed along the inside, then in the three path around the far turn, moved wider in upper stretch and failed to factor. GARRYOWEN stalked along the inside, chased in the two path around the far turn then faded.
