Analyis of the race

Ground described as good to soft and slightly softer in the dip where the ditch, three out, was omitted in all chases due to a false patch.

Not a lot of strength in depth in this with the front three pulling well clear from two out and PROGRAMME GIRL goes on this surface and kept on gamely. Bought as a yearling is has been slow to mature and grow but should continue to do well and is the type to improve.

Middleton Dene travelled well enough on the heels of the leaders on this drop back in trip. She was never quite pegging back the winner and might just have needed this first run since February.

Spirit Calling was beaten some way but did make up a little ground after being nearer last than first for most of the race. He could be interesting if buildingon this.
