Some of this adjustment is due to the fact that he was 3 pounds or 1,5 kgs under sufferance at the weights.
It was runner-up Mr Fitz who was used as the line horse which leaves him unchanged on a mark of 96.
In assessing the race this way, both third placed Marchingontogether and 4th finisher Share Holder also run to their marks (108 and 96 respectively) and effectively become line horses with unaltered marks as well.
There were no increases for any horse other than the winner, while the solitary drop was for Wealthy, who is down from 94 to 92.
