 A slow early pace resulted in seven of the nine runners holding a winning chance turning for home before newcomer Man About Town arrived full of running to lead just inside the final furlong to win easily without being asked a serious question. Trainer Tom Taaffe said, "He's a high class baby, has loads of gears and has been schooled over jumps as well."
