Analyis of the race

A very weak race and won comfortably in the end by ESCAYOLA. He doesn't look the easiest of rides and won with ears pricked having hung left from between the last two flights and also jumping out that way over the last. Connections are considering running him at Aintree in a handicap on Saturday and they reckon he will be better suited by even faster ground.

Neptune Joly produced one of his best efforts and looked like causing an upset two out. He winged the last and ran above expectations considering he was so far adrift of the winner on the book.
