 Cosmic Sun ran on very convincingly in a field of 19 to win by one and a quarter lengths. The Racing Post had this to say:

A typically strong renewal of this highly competitive 3yo handicap. Mark Johnston and Sir Michael Stoute had each had three winners in the previous eight runnings and both were represented again but, in what was a rough race early with the hold-up horses getting in each others´ way, there was a surprise result. The time was 0.62sec slower than the Ribblesdale earlier in the afternoon.

COSMIC SUN, whose dam Cosmic Case was a middle-distance/stayer on the Flat and won over 3m over hurdles, had done pretty well as a juvenile considering his breeding. However, he came into this as a maiden in ten starts and had been well beaten by two of today´s rivals in his previous starts this season. Racing from 3lb out of the handicap, he was always going comfortably in the wake of the leaders and picked up well from the home turn to get his head in front entering the final furlong. He was always holding his rivals from that point and is clearly better than he has been showing of late.
