Mainly exposed sorts and the top weight was rated just 98.

POLAR GUNNER, who revels in testing ground, took advantage of his current good hurdles mark, 29lb lower than his chase one, with a decisive success. Although he raced keenly, he was far too good for these and, after going clear from the home turn, was clear when he made a mistake at the last and came home unchallenged. He'll go up a fair bit for this but he's going the right way and will continue to be of interest, both over hurdles and fences, when conditions are testing.

Balmoral Queen, who stayed on, confirmed her improved run at Uttoxeter on her previous start by once again beating Prairie Law, who was disappointing, and Before The Mast, who had every chance.
