Silver Slipper Stakes (G2)
Godolphin’s Astern is now unbeaten in two starts. He resumed here, was smartly away and soon crossing to the lead. He then steadied the tempo, briefly looked in some danger when challenged at the 200m but he lifted particularly when asked by Hugh Bowman and then went on to score with something in hand. He looks a quality colt. Defcon was eased from his outside barrier (7), settled in fifth place (but trapped three deep without cover). He put in a strong bid at the 200m and then battled strongly for a very good second, putting up a smart performance after a wide trip. Mount Panorama was badly away from his inside barrier (1) and was a clear last on settling. He moved up well (wide with cover) rounding the home turn, put in a strong run from the 200m and fought on particularly well in a really smart effort.
