ANALYSIS: RAYMOND'S PRIDE had conditions right up his street and duly delivered after racing in the main group on the stands' side. The step back up to 6f helped and he doesn't seem to be badly handicapped.

Balakiref rarely runs a bad race and has held his form remarkably well after his long season. He's not brilliantly treated but always runs up to his best.

Paris Bell was more like his old self after a couple of below-par efforts although the front two pulled well clear.

Queens Rhapsody produced his first form for ages as he returned to 6f and encountered testing ground again. Course specialist Highland Warrior ran his usual race after missing the break but never threatened.
