Following unseasonal heavy rain earlier in the month, some bright, drying days produced good ground for the final race on the card, which was run over 1m6f, one of the longest races in the series.

Accordingly, the horses broke evenly and a steady pace was set with Gift of Raaj and Tom Kiely-Marshall leading the pack.  He was joined by Sir Jock Bennet under Sam Feilden and King Of Unicorns ridden by Aiden Brookes sitting in behind.  Gastronomy and Bulldog Spirit were at the back of the field and about four lengths covered the runners as they took the first bend.

There was no change in the order rounding the final bend, but the pace quickened slightly as they went into the last five furlongs.

Archie Young took Bulldog Spirit for a brave run up the rail and the gaps opened up for him, while Rhys Elliott took Gastronomy wide on the outside of the field up the home straight.

Gastronomy took a clear lead within the final half furlong to win by a length and three quarters from Bulldog Spirit and Mythical was a neck back in third under Jack Doughty.

The eighteen points took Rhys up to fourth place in the series, but even though he is out with injury, William Pyle remains in front with his score of 60 points.

The next race takes place at Thirsk on Friday 9^th August.
