Analyis of the race

Only marginally better than a seller for this handicap hurdle.

BROWN FOX had not been disgraced over course and distance earlier this month and came good here. She had looked suspect in the stamina department on a few occasions but stayed well in the context of this race, but the form is obviously modest for the future.

Westfield Dancer goes up 3lb from the weekend so this was his last chance in 0-100 company. His two recent wins - one in a seller - have seen him go up 20lb, and life will be difficult now.

Miss Merenda holds no secrets and has not won for the best part of two years.
