Analyis of the race

A moderate affair. CARLITOS SPIRIT had not managed a win in ten previous starts on turf, but he had been running well on the all-weather recently and probably did not need to improve much on his second at Kempton last time to defy top weight in this company - which he did despite going right in the closing stages.

Prince Egor, off the course for over a year, made a most encouraging return to action, staying on (while hanging left) strongly to suggest that he may benefit from a slightly longer trip this season.

Semi Detached also shaped with a lot more promise than when last seen on the sand and is well-treated on his turf form of 2005.

Top Jaro, second in a Musselburgh seller last time, was found out by this return to handicap class but is clearly in good heart and should be able to pick up a little race before long.
