While nothing got close to the BHA ceiling of 105 in this class 2 handicap, those that made the frame still give this an interesting enough look, the winner making short work of this in truth and clearly well ahead of his current mark and with more to come; they came down the centre in the finish with the first 3 never far from the pace.

AMERICAN AFFAIR has thrived since being dropped to 5f and resumed winning ways in no uncertain , showing bags of speed to tank through this race and record another Sky Bet Sunday Series success, benefiting from being allowed to take closer order this time, moving easily to the front and looking to have serious claims of scooping the £100,000 bonus if able to to be the first horse to win 3 races during the series; prominent, travelled strongly, led 1f out, ridden final 1f, edged left, readily; will remain of plenty of interest.

LETHAL NYMPH ran well from an attractive mark, bumping into a thriving sort and looking well capable of ending his losing run soon, perhaps back up to 6f; prominent, ridden over 1f out, kept on.

JER BATT (IRE) is still working his way back from a lengthy absence and turned in another solid effort; close up, led briefly 2f out, headed 1f out, no extra final 100 yds.

FAIR WIND wasn't disgraced on the back of a 6 lb rise, not looking well suited by this track, always further back than ideal and doing best of those held up in the end; held up, headway 2f out, ridden over 1f out, kept on; likely to continue in form.

BURNING CASH (IRE) claimer ridden, wasn't disgraced in first-time cheekpieces, never close enough to threaten in a better race than he need contest; held up, headway under pressure over 1f out, kept on.

CHANGEOFMIND (IRE) failed to come on for recent run; mid-field, headway over 1f out, not quicken.

LOOKING FOR LYNDA (IRE) found run of good form coming to a halt, though did find himself rather isolated on the near rail from his high draw; awkward leaving stalls, raced near side, mid-field, ridden over 2f out, one paced, not ideally placed.

BERGERAC (IRE) in a change of headgear, fared no better; mid-field, outpaced 2f out, plugged on.

VENTURA EXPRESS went backwards from reappearance win faced with a much more competitive affair; mid-field, ridden when short of room over 1f out, no extra.

HIYA MAITE wasn't in the same form as last time, though was stuck on the outer flank from his low stall; raced wide, prominent, weakened 1f out.

BALDOMERO (IRE) had the visor back on but found things happening too quickly back down in trip; dwelt, in rear, made little impression; will prove suited by a return to 6f.

TEES SPIRIT again ran below form; prominent, weakened 1f out.

MONDAMMEJ in a change of headgear, fared no better; in rear, soon under pressure, made little impression.

MATTICE was below form upped in grade; mid-field, weakened 2f out.

VINTAGE CLARETS is best not judged too harshly on this run, not ideally drawn or getting the best of runs; raced wide, mid-field, ridden when not clear run over 1f out, weakened, not unduly punished.

INTRINSIC BOND failed to build on the promise of reappearance run given a more positive ride back down in trip; led until 2f out, weakened over 1f out.
