Analyis of the race

A fair clip to this staying handicap hurdle, so it was a true test and that suited the chaser MATMATA DE TENDRON, who was returning to hurdling on a mark 18lb lower than his chase one.

In the first two throughout, he struck for home three out and stayed on gamely to win his fourth race on the track. He will now revert to chasing for the Durham National here.

Zaffie Parson ran her best race for a while, keeping on well. She’s on a good mark now and may be able to find a race, though her winshave all been on soft ground.

Izzykeen raced wide, but he seems better at shorter and, though well backed, Silver Feather was never going.
