 A weak race by course standards, borne out by the way Backbeat treated his rivals with contempt in making all and winning unextended. He looks a thorough galloper and enjoyed both the step up in trip and change of tactics from been held up and racing keenly. He has been a free sweater but he settled well into making the running and can go on from this.
