b g Montjeu (IRE) - Kirsch (NZ) (Zabeel)
Towards rear, closer in 6th approaching 2 out, went 3rd at last, led and stayed on best run-in (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that gelding had been very disappointing in his three runs to date, but particularly in his last race, which was on heavy ground. Following that run, it was decided to give the horse a break, freshen him up and bring him back to run in handicaps; since the horse has come back he has strengthened up well and today he seems to have transferred that improvement to the racecourse.)
