MUCH of the conversation before the Pinsent Masons Lowther Stakes concerned Tiggy Wiggy’s ability to stay the sixth furlong.

Blessed with exceptional pace, as she showed in the Super Sprint at Newbury, she had never gone beyond the minimum distance but did the job in style, making all the running for Richard Hughes and beating Cursory Glance by a length and a half with Eddie Lynam’s Anthem Alexander just behind in third. None of the others got into the argument.
