 Not much to choose between some fairly exposed handicappers but two came clear in the final furlong.
Flotta, third off a 3lb lower mark last year, travelled well in behind before coming through to lead inside the final furlong for a narroew victory. He is at least as effective over longer trips so this was an encouraging effort.
