Kirk-Alloway, outsider of three, set a strong gallop from the outset, attended by Aeroplane and He Goes. With half a mile to run, Aeroplane took closer order and disputed the lead, the pair leaving He Goes in their wake. Inside the distance Kirk-Alloway got back up in the final stride to win by a short head, with 15 lengths back to He Goes. |
