There was no roar to send off the 8 runners in the Supreme, but the favourite fully justified pre-race billing to romp home by 24 lengths - albeit the margin of victory would have been less had his stablemate Blue Lord not fallen at the last.

Shishkin followed up his Supreme victory last year to further enhance an already huge reputation - his 12 lengths margin of victory was every bit as comfortable as the betting had suggested. The runner-up picked up the pieces very late.

An emphatic performance from Honeysuckle to win by 6½ lengths, albeit successive victories for mares in this race will heighten calls for further scrutiny of their 7lb sex allowance. Rachael Blackmore is the first female jockey to win the race.

A small field of 7 runners cannot diminish the performance of Bob Olinger, who eased to a facile 7½ length victory in a race recently won by stars such as Envoi Allen, Samcro and Faugheen. He looks every bit a chasing star in the making.
