The consistent Toby Edmonds-trained gelding Tyzone took his record to 16 wins from 31 starts in winning here, his second at stakes level. He settled back in 11th place from his wide barrier (10), tracking a quick pace before Blake Shinn took him deep coming to the home turn. He then stormed home with a well-timed run to hit the front in the closing stages and went on to win convincingly. Violate settled in tenth place on the rails, got between runners in the home straight and then ran on well when clear late for second. I'm A Rippa showed his customary pace to lead, set a quick tempo and then held on for third just in front of the favourite Chapter And Verse, who had raced in seventh place on the rails before running on in restricted room on the rails for fourth, beaten two lengths.
