Analyis of the race

No stars in this hunter chase, which was run at a decent clip.

Victory went to BENWELL, a lightly raced winning pointer, who chased the clear leader from the fourth-last and, though he went right and made a mistake at the final fence, ran on well.He stays further.

Lascar De Ferbet closed on the winner going down to the last, but his best efforts, under rules at least, were at around 2m and he couldn’t pull out any more after the last.

Briscoe Place went off a decent clip and was around 20 lengths clear at one point, but he tired in the final mile, began to make mistakes and in the end finished well beaten.
