Gerald Ryan-trained gelding Chains Of Honour staged a smart effort in taking out this 1600 metre event on debut. He settled nicely in third place on the rails, responded to riding approaching the home turn to take the lead halfway down the straight and then drew away to win by two lengths, running the 1600m out well. David Payne-trained colt Crown Affair went to the front, set a good tempo, held a clear break at the home turn before tiring from the 100m for second after running a bold race.
