Analyis of the race

The first race over fences at the meeting and the ground was reported to be very testing which resulted in very few in with chances racing down into the dip. HIGH FIVE enjoyed getting his toe in as he returned to this slightly shorter trip and he stayed on gamely. Apart from belting two out this placed pointer jumped quite well and is likely to hold his form when the ground is easy.

Gee Aker Malayo, a winner over shorter here on quicker ground and at this trip two years ago, was just outstayedand ran his heart out. This was a brave effort from his new mark.

Super Revo, running for just the second time over fences, stayed on strongly from two out after getting outpaced. He had blinkers on instead of cheekpieces and looks sure to make the grade as a staying chaser on this evidence.

Corbie Lynn has been disappointing lately but she found a stride from two out and stayed on strongly right to the line. She now needs to prove this wasn't a one-off.

Slow To Part has wining hunter chase and pointing form in Ireland and found his second wind again after helping force the pace for a long way.
