Not to be outdone, Screen King, together with a lugging out Paster, clobbered an already retreating General Assembly on the far turn, forcing him to check.
For good measure, Screen King drifted in in the stretch, smashing Flying Paster towards Golden Act who was rallying on the inside, causing Paster to take up rather sharply.
Meanwhile, Spectacular Bid drew off to win by open lengths.
