Key trends
Other factors
Fillies won five in a row (1996 to 2000), but only one has placed in the last ten years.
The 2022 winner Little Big Bear was RPR top-rated, but six of the other nine were between 7lb and 19lb off top.
BIG EVS proved himself a smart colt, a three-length winner and becoming the widest-margin winner of this race since Ardad who won by 3.25l on soft in 2016. Johannes Brahms, whose connections won this last year with Little Big Bear, had won a 6f Naas maiden on his debut. Down in trip, he didn’t quite have the winner’s speed but he saw it out well. Up The Manor was back in third, who had won a 5f Doncaster novice on his debut, ran well without being quite good enough.
