 Sir Effendi set a fast pace in the early stages from Narrative, with Zindabad, Aquarelliste and Nayef just behind the leaders and Golan held up in last place.Zindabad took the lead half a mile from the finish and led the field into the straight with Nayef in second ahead of Storming Home and Aquarelliste with Golan making progress along the rail.Nayef gained the advantage approaching the final furlong but was immediately challenged by Golan on the inside.
