Analyis of the race

A good gallop to this stamina test and the first two both came from off the pace. PRINCE OF SLANE hasn't always been the best of jumpers, but he did nothing wrong today, and from off the pace, ran on strongly after leading at the second last. He was 6lb higher than when scoring here last time and is going the right way. Although he stays well, he is not a mudlark as his best form is on decent ground.

Harlov, who won this event two years ago, ran another sound race, running on well from off the pace. He stays well, and unlike the winner, is effective with plenty of give in the ground.

Gunther McBride is back on a fair mark, but has yet to prove conclusively that he stays this far. Virgin Soldier wasn't disgraced, Bang And Blame is up in the weights, but his jumping let him down here as he made several mistakes and eventually paid the penalty after another bold bid from the front.
