Analyis of the race

NATIAIN, pulled-up in last month's Cheltenham Foxhunter Chase, was back on familiar ground here and, adopting his habitual front-running role, proved too strong for his rivals. He is an admirable horse in these races and is a tough nut to crack as heshowed once again.

Minouchka, winner of her last five starts, pestered the winner from a long way out, but the writing was on the wall between the final two fences and, hard though she tried, she could never prove Natiain's master.
