Sign From Above raced in midfield, was outpaced and dropped to the rear under three furlongs out, then made only limited late progress.

What we learned / things to watch

Seven of the nine successful lays finished fourth or worse, so most were beaten without a serious late threat.

Spirit Of The Bay and Sron Na Caise were much closer calls. Strong finishes and front-runners that keep finding remain important checks near the off.

Gal showed that a slow start is not always enough to rule a horse out; she recovered strongly and won late.
