After placings at her first two starts, Chris Waller-trained filly Cross Stitch broke through for her first win here after a successful protest. She began well, settled in fourth place, one of the rails, before challenging nearing the home turn. After a mix-up on straightening, she got to a narrow lead, failed by the narrowest of margins but was awarded the race on protest. Audacious Choice went to the front, set a reasonable tempo, veered out at the home turn and then fought back to be narrowly in front at the post but was relegated to second on protest. The Paul Perry-trained colt Hollywood Mo was near last in the eight-horse field and caught the eye with his late-closing third while Godolphin’s Nemrud got through to race in third place on the rails but he was checked at the home turn when looking for a run. He then made a late recovery to finish an unlucky (1.6 lengths) sixth.
