Ball Of Muscle had them in trouble at the 300m and held on well to score win 11, his fifth at stakes level and second at Group 2 level. Jockey Glyn Schofield wasted no time, booted the eight-year-old to the front from the jump, found the rail and cruised along by a length, sometimes more, to the home straight. Schofield shot him away by two lengths at the 300m and still led by a length at the 100m and that was enough to hold them off. Invincible Star began her run from the 500m, moved to challenge from the top of the straight but was not making any impression, taking ground off the winner late while no real chance of winning. Brave Smash was held up for a run until the 200m, got out and ran on well for third from After All That who finished strongly from last at the 200m for fourth.
