Waddell) travelled evenly over a mile. They were going kindly at the finish after running the full distance in 1.55 and the last three furlongs in 45sec. ' ■ Solver (A. Waddell) was well clear of a companion at the end of seven furlongs in 1.43, coming home from the three in 45sec.

Bowness) started] short of the seven-furlon;; post and the pace was increased approaching the six.
