ANALYSIS: A classified stakes race and they don't come much worse than this as it was limited to horses rated 0-45 but something had to win it and that proved to be MOUNTAIN CLIMB. He was having only his second run for his new trainer, and second in Britain, and did it well enough in the end, although he did run about a bit before hitting the front and may need a pair of blinkers in future as he wore them in Ireland.
Lady Duxyana
ran well enough to suggest that a seller could be within her compass even though she has been beaten in that sphere.
Joe Jo Star has won on the sand and seems better on that surface than turf.
Shandelight ran on in the closing stages and as this was only her fourth run there might be some improvement to come.
