Analyis of the race

A low-grade handicap, which saw GRIZEBECK gain an all-the-way win under a well-judged front-running ride. He is a relentless galloper and is plainly in excellent heart. He is likely to go jumping now.

Toboggan Lady, who progressed nicely last season, winning three times, made an encouraging return to action, only finding the gritty and race-fit winner too strong when the chips were down.

Hue, who had the measure of Grizebeck at Redcar last week, was sent out under a penalty here, and under a 7lb claimer to try and overcome that extra burden. Held-up, just as he was at Redcar, he was left with plenty of ground to make up turning for home and although he came home best of all, and was eating up the first two towards the finish, the post was always coming too soon for him. He is in good form and can make amends for this defeat.
