Lightening Fire held up in mid-division, headway 5th, weakened approaching 2 out

Hidden Talents held up in mid-division, headway approaching 4 out, ridden 3 out, soon weakened

Kimono Royal held up towards rear, some headway 4 out, never dangerous

Sorvino pulled hard in mid-division, headway approaching 4th, weakened after 7th, behind when blundered and unseated rider 3 out

Clande Boye always in rear, reminders after 5th, tailed off when pulled up before 4 out

Analyis of the race

A very ordinary selling handicap hurdle. RULING REEF had never won over hurdles in the past but put that right as she kept finding enough on the front end. She is obviously nothing special and the overall form will mean little outside of this company.

Castlemainevillage improved on his last effort here but the fact remains that he has not won since taking a bumper.

Dunkerron would have been helped by the faster going but is not getting any better at the age of 11.
