A competitive looking handicap and a successful return to action for Maidin Moch, who repelled the late surge of Starluck.

Kevin Manning bided his time on the filly, moving into contention on the turn for home.

She battled it out with Mid Mon Lady from a furlong-and-a-half out and got the better of that rival in the final furlong.

The daughter of High Chaparral appeared to appreciate the extra trip here having been gradually stepped up as a juvenile.

Starluck may have been an unlucky loser. He was waiting for a gap running to the furlong pole and when it came he was didn't enjoy the clearest of passages.

He was closing all the way to the line. A narrow winner on his debut here he looks a progressive type and is one to keep on the right side of.

No Strings was bidding for a hat-trick and made ground up from the rear to go third a furlong-and-a-half out. He kept on well in the final furlong without getting at the leaders.

Mid Mon Lady moved through to dispute with Maidin Moch a furlong-and-a-half out but had no more to offer close home.
