Analyis of the race

Only three finishers and they were led home by NAJCA DE THAIX who jumped and travelled strongly at the head of affairs.

He had slipped some three to four lengths clear down the back without his rider having asked for any real effort and, still travelling powerfully turning for home, he saw it out well.

Carly Bay finished in front of Najca De Thaix over hurdles here last month, but he's not as good over fences, and despite travelling quite nicely, he could never land a blow on the winner.
