The 2016 Railway Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m winner at Ascot, Scales Of Justice, staged a very good effort in winning here, his second Group 1 victory in 26 starts to date. Having his third run this preparation, he settled in fifth place, one off the rails, behind a good pace. He moved up nicely rounding the home turn, took the lead nearing the 100m and then went on to win impressively. So Si Bon had a good trip in eighth place, tracked the winner coming to the home turn and then kept fighting on very well to take second. The favourite Alizee settled back in second last place in the 13-horse field from her wide barrier (11). She was widest of all at the home turn, made a strong run and briefly looked a threat at the 100m before fighting on for third, her barrier proving costly. Hartnell had a nice trip in seventh place on the rails, got through on the inner at the home turn and kept battling on well in the straight for (1.3 lengths) fourth. Despatch was second until halfway down the straight and did well in holding on for (2.8 lengths) fifth with Begood Toya Mother (2.9 lengths) sixth after running a bold race in the lead in a good effort, advancing in class here.
