Analyis of the race

Conditions worsened again with driving rain throughout this race and they came home well strung out with only the first two still looking like racehorses off the home turn. This confirmed there was not much strength in depth as is often the case in these restricted races and again the quality did not look quite up to the class rating of the race.

LA DAME BRUNE deserves plenty of credit, though, as she revelled in the ground and drew ever further clear from the home turn without having to be strongly driven. She is just rising five and has obviously come back stronger after her bumper season. Apart from messing up the third-last when moving ahead, she jumped like an old hand and can progress further.

Eden Linty made a brief move at the end of the back straight and kept on for strong driving on this hurdling debut. She showed her bumper win at 100-1 was no fluke and she should win her share

Gaelic Gift and Reel Charmer kept plodding away but were never in contention but Ring Back raced up with the pace before looking to run out of stamina.
