Analyis of the race

A competitive handicap won in nice style by ANSELLS PRIDE, who made all the running. He increased the tempo once in line for home and, despite edging to his left once let down, he was always finding enough to prevail. He might not have been totally suited to this softening ground, and there should be more to come from him.

Regal Parade ran a solid race in defeat to underline his well-being. Life will get tougher for him in the future as he is due to go up 6lb from today.

Cha Cha Cha, who was stepping up in trip, had every chance, but she failed to see off her race as well as the first two. A shorter trip may suit her better.

Bajan Pride, who was all the rage in the market, was settled behind the leaders, but he flattened out when brought under pressure and the writing was on the wall for him from well over a furlong out.
