Analyis of the race

The ground was officially soft but the jockeys reported that it was very tacky and tiring. This first division of the maiden hurdle seemed an ideal opportunity for the well-respected Hobbs Hill but in the end he was forced to play second fiddle to winning Irish pointer GEEVEEM, who simply stayed on better.The winner looks the type who will want three miles over fences in time but there is no reason he cannot pick up another ordinary contest over hurdles when conditions are as testing as this.

Hobbs Hill appeared to have done enough on his hurdles debut and first run of the season at the top of the home straight but could find no more once tackled. He gave the impression the ground would not have suited him that well and is worth another chance in this sort of grade.

Barton Legend and Historic Place had their chances at the end of the back straight. The former is nothing out of the ordinary but the latter is entitled to come on for the outing and his first try over hurdles as he was not a bad bumper horse two years ago.
