Chart notes

DOUBTING THOMAS four then three wide in pursuit from mid pack early on, advanced to be just off the pace three furlongs out, came under coaxing nearing the quarter pole and went six wide into upper stretch rallying to seize command with three-sixteenths to go, came inwards a path under an active left rein a furlong out when inching clear to that station, dug in under threat to the outside inside the final sixteenth and got directed outwards under an active left rein while being flashed the crop to the right side and held safe to the finish only forcing his main danger out when already at and past the finish line. IRON PALACE off last when shying out from PROTON to his inside when that rival broke outwards, chased two to three wide from the tail of the field coming under urging with five-sixteenths to go, angled out eight wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick to secure the place honors altering out at and after the finish as the top one came outwards late. BIG DESTROYER saved ground in pursuit from near the rear of the field patiently handled until set down angled six wide into upper stretch, kicked on belatedly to the finish. SIX O CLOCK three then two wide in pursuit from mid pack, got let out angled five wide into upper stretch, kept on under a drive to wire. INTRICATE SPIRIT established the front just after the start and showed the way in hand two to three paths off the rail down the backstretch until tucked inside into the turn, remained patiently handled until roused cutting the corner into upper stretch, got collared with three-sixteenths to go and weakened in the late stages. PROTON broke out at the start and was corrected before making any contact with IRON PALACE, chased just off the inside under a ride nearing the quarter pole, angled out six to seven wide into upper stretch, offered up a bid a furlong out, then flattened out in the late going. Following a saddle adjustment behind the gate prior to the field approaching the gate, TWO OUT HERO chased along the inside, cut the corner into upper stretch in behind the leader INTRICATE SPIRIT, gained brief clearance straightened away before having the rail shut down by that rival and brushed with the rail just outside the eighth pole, gained a clear rail at that station and then weakened in the late stages. FELINE CURIOUS chased four then three paths off the inside down the backstretch before heading three then two wide through the turn coming under urging just outside the quarter pole, swung three to four wide into upper stretch, weakened. LEARNTODISCOVER (GB) chased along the inside coming under encouragement near the quarter pole, cornered just off the inside into upper stretch, weakened.
