1st - £93,572.00 2nd - £35,475.00 3rd - £17,754.00 4th - £8,844.00 5th - £4,438.00 6th - £2,228.00

Formscan - All of these have claims, but none more so than FLORA OF BERMUDA. Andrew Balding's mare proved that she stays this far when second to More Thunder in the Park Stakes at Doncaster a month ago and she may even have more improvement left to come over this trip. Never So Brave has yet to show his very best this year but should not be written off in this company, while Time To Turn is the pick of the remainder.
