Analyis of the race

A competitive little handicap, run at a strong pace throughout. HARRY UP’S form earlier in the year had suggested he was in the grip of the handicapper, but given a five-week break since making all in a Kempton claimer, he came back in great heart togain a battling win.

Stolt, who had won here in December but has found things tough off higher marks since, raced keenly throughout but still saw his race out to the line to turn in his best effort for quite some time.

Sands Crooner and Distinctly Game were always struggling to go the pace and, though both were running on strongly at the finish, it was all too late to trouble the principals.
