Drymee won the Colliers Business Rates Experts Classified Stakes at Ascot over 1m on good to firm ground at 5/1. The winner pulled hard in the early stages before settling towards the rear of the field, was asked for his effort two furlongs out, and threaded a gap to hit the front entering the final furlong. Henlein raced in mid-division early, was last of the main group when ridden two furlongs out, then switched right and made steady headway to close on the winner in the final 110 yards without quite getting there. Drymee kept finding under pressure to hold off the runner-up by a neck, with Princling finishing third.
