Backers selected Toorak as the most likely proposition for the Stewards’ Handicap at Forbury on Saturday. The Champion Stakes winner paced a creditable race, but was just unable to reach a place. Shandon Chimes, Silver Laddie, Old Faithful and Seaward de Oro soon threw away their chances. Molly Direct led Intrigue and Lord Axworthy over the first furlong, but Intrigue soon took charge and at the mile the three-year-old was carrying on from Diversion, Lord Axworthy and Molly Direct. It was the same as they left the straight the last time, but three furlongs from home Diversion ran to the lead from Molly Direct and Intrigue, and the Rey de Oro mare ran in a comfortable winner from Moily Direct, with Mohican and Toorak, who were brought down by Irish Aggie on Thursday, third and fourth respectively.
