Workforce's pacemaker Confront went to the lead as anticipated in the early stages of the 10-furlong Group One, but Ryan Moore was happy to let Workforce run to the lead rounding the turn for home.

Seamie Heffernan soon followed him through on 4-6 favourite So You Think, but Workforce pulled a couple of lengths clear and it appeared at that stage as though the Derby and Arc winner would claim another notable victory.

But the complexion of the race changed inside the final furlong and So You Think managed to eat into the leader's advantage, getting by him when it mattered to record a half-length success in a pulsating race.
