WARLORD strode clear impressively from the home turn and was still galloping strongly at the line. He is seen as a 3m chaser in the making but on this display he can win more hurdles as he goes up in distance.
Sound Accord ran a strange race as he was on and off the bridle and wandered left and right. The tacky ground was probably not in his favour and he was a comfortable second from the last, galloping onwell on this hurdling debut. He can win his races through the spring.
Best Actor was wanting to go left and consequently raced wider out in setting the pace. He was beaten into the last half-mile, but deserves credit for plodding on under his penalty for his comeback win 56 days ago in a race that has not worked out that well. (BJ)
