ALOA (GB), (f, 2, Cracksman {GB}–Amber Silk {Ire}, by Lawman {Fr}), sent off at just over 7-5 favouritism, raced in third a few lengths off the pacesetter. Establishing a good rhythm on the turn, the blaze-faced chestnut tipped out inside the final 600 metres and drew into contention with a quarter-mile remaining. Kept to her task, she subdued Kinkawa (GB) (Camacho {GB}) by the furlong-pole and stayed on to win by a 2 1/4 lengths to become the first winner for her first-season sire (by Frankel {GB}). A dual winner of the G1 Champion S., Cracksman also scored in the G1 Prix Ganay and G1 Coronation Cup and was placed in the G1 Derby, G1 Irish Derby and G1 Prince Of Wales's S.
