Three-year-old colt Deal Master put up a promising effort in winning here on debut. He began well from barrier six and soon went to the front. He then settled nicely despite some early pressure, got a break at the 200m and then went on to score, appearing to do so with something in hand. The Lunch settled back in eighth place, one off the rails, before going widest of all at the home turn. He then sprinted smartly, challenged (wide out) at the 100m and then battled on well for second also showing promise on debut.
