Parisien Star, completing back to back victories in this race, could be named the winner 3f out, so well was he travelling as Dream Magic led him on sufferance. Competing from a 6lb lower mark than for his 2002 victory, Parisien Star had the fast ground he loves and was operating over him optimum distance. Ideally his rider would like to have held on to him longer but in the small field there was no where to hide.
Trainer Jim Boyle explained that the 7-y-o comes to himself at this time of year and that he could never get competitive on his previous start at Epsom, partly because the heavens opened.
