1st 4 Calcutta Dream (IRE) 7 G AVG Michael & David Easterby 135 lbs 12/1 Won Slowly away - midfield - headway from 2f out - led inside final furlong - hung right but kept on towards finish
2nd 1 Charlatan (IRE) 4 G AVG David Simcock 140 lbs 1/2F - In touch with leaders - smooth headway and led narrowly over 1f out - headed and hung right inside final furlong - kept on but no extra towards finish (jockey was asked to explain his riding in home straight; he said his instructions were to sit behind the leaders until approximately halfway and wait for as long as possible to mount his challenge as gelding finds little off the bridle; he added that when he asked gelding for an effort approximately 1f out there was very limited response and that the gelding felt flat having run only 3 days prior - which was subsequently confirmed by trainer's rep; his explanation was noted)(op 4/11)
