    Chester Vase form pretty much replicated.

    Moore had an utter mare!

    Well done winners , winning rider played to his horses strengths but that’s going to be an average derby at best

    He has an Irish St Leger entry………doubt he will be taking that option up.

    A soft ground Arc may be right up his street, he has already won on very soft in France as a 2yr old and he was relentless today.

    Time slow by 2.9 seconds.
    Winner is a good horse but they let him go.

    I can let him off. He was riding a Dubawi in a Derby. ;o)

    Agree Ginger. It was clear he was going to win from a long way out. It felt similar to Serpentine’s Derby, although I suspect Lambourn is a fair bit better than the winner in that unusual Derby.

    A lot were pulling early on (Damysus particularly badly) and he was left alone on the front end so it will be interesting to see if they continue to ride him that way as I would imagine he won’t be allowed that kind of leeway again.

    English Leger looks right.

    Well … that was a bit of an anti-climax. Reminds me of Serpentine’s Derby to an extent.

    The one I’ve put into my notebook is the run of Nightime Dancer who finished in 8th.
