Analyis of the race

A fair handicap, won impressively by ROYAL ENVOY. This was his third win of the year, and his best performance to date, and proved just how unlucky he was here last time when he finished eighth behind Hammer Of The Gods but never got a clear run at any stage.

Obe Royal had also finished behind Hammer Of The Gods a week ago, and he too was able to reverse placings with the Bravery horse, who set off fast to ensure he got to the head of the field, but could never get a breather and was a beaten horse a furlong out.
