Analyis of the race

An open looking handicap to finish with and MAGROOM managed to comprehensively reverse the form of 13 days previous with Poppets Sweetlove, who had beaten him over course and distance. The winner was ridden closer to the pace on this occasion and that probably helped make the difference along with the revised weights. He was the only three year old in the line up and connections are now eyeing a campaign over hurdles later this autumn.

Myfrenchconnection was chasing a hat trick of recent wins,so came into the race in good heart, which gives the form quite a solid look.

Poppets Sweetlove, essentially, would probably have preferred more cut in the ground, as both her wins have come on those conditions, but she was not disgraced off a 6lbs higher mark.

The Jailer has won a seller at this trip but found it beyond him in this company.
