Analyis of the race

The ground was described as very tacky, and it rode softer than the official good to soft, soft in places with this being run in a time of more than 30 seconds above standard.

A fair gallop here, and an above-average race for the track, and it was wonin fine style by the improving THEATRE BELLE, who began her winning run in a Catterick seller and has since proved a decent novice.

She took this in fine style, travelling well throughout and drawing clear from the second-last to win eased down. She gets this trip well and acts on any ground, and is still on the upgrade.

Riguez Dancer was stepping up to this trip for the first time and didn’t shape like an obvious stayer. He travelled well for a long way, but was off the bridle before the second-last and couldn’t quicken.

Samizdat made the running and, considering he was facing a stiff task, wasn’t disgraced.
