br g Arctic Lord (IRE) - Charossa (Ardross)
Rear halfway, well behind from 8th, rapid headway from 2 out, finished strongly (jockey said, regarding the apparent tender ride, that he tried to settle the gelding as instructed but, because of the slow pace, he was left in front before being outpaced at halfway. The gelding then ran on past tiring horses having hung badly right throughout; trainer confirmed instructions and added that she hoped to find a three mile race for the gelding on a right-handed galloping track.)
