held up in rear, headway into midfield when not fluent 5th, in touch with leaders going easily 3 out (usual 4 out), pushed along to lead approaching last, ridden and kept on well run-in, won going away (inquiry held to consider why trainer was running gelding here at Plumpton on going described as good, good to soft in places, having declared the gelding a non-runner at Plumpton on 20 April 2025 on ground with same official description; trainer stated that he had walked the track and in his opinion the ground was slightly easier today than yesterday due to overnight watering)
