ANALYSIS: Mainly exposed sorts in this 0-60 handicap in which those who raced close to the pace were favoured.
QUEEN'S ECHO, who was behind Shifty at Thirsk two runs ago, stepped up on that form and, after racing in touch, came away in the last furlong to score in decisive fashion. She had run well at Leicester earlier in the week, and may be able to follow up under a penalty.
Slavonic, whose stable is in fine form, ran creditably from his outside draw, and Showtime Annie stayed on well from off the pace to show her best form for a while.
Parisian Playboy is in fair form, and wasn't disgraced from his outside draw, Master Joseph was struggling from a long way out, but kept on, and Musiotal, who was stepping up from 6f, didn't get home and left the impression that 7f is his optimum trip.
Montara was dropped out at the start, and lost a lot of ground in the process and never featured.
