In depth
Verdict
Malaah was out quickly and set a good pace in company with Prince Aaron. By halfway there were many in with chances including Warden Warren and Lucefer, but in a driving finish Lucid Dreams burst through with what looked like a winning effort. It was not over yet though as the favourite Sharp Secret finished well, but not well enough as Fearby Cross came flying home under Lisa Jones to land the spoils, just ahead of Lucid Dreams.
