Master John held up, headway 10th, chased leader before 2 out, left in lead after jumping 2 out, clear when jumped right last, driven out
Corlande chased leaders, led 7th to 10th, hit next, led 3 out, 1 length ahead and ridden when blundered 2 out, soon headed, weakened last
Sasso made most to 7th, led again 10th, ridden and headed 3 out, soon weakened, blundered next
Donald Will Do chased leader 2nd to 7th, weakened after 10th, poor 4th when blundered and unseated rider 3 out
Sole Agent held up, pushed along 4th, ridden and weakened approaching 8th, tailed off when pulled up before 11th
MASTER JOHN, who had won a maiden point two years ago and had since been placed twice over hurdles, jumped soundly on this chase debut and brought his stamina into play late on as he battled on up the hill and was gifted the race when Corlande blundered badly at the second last.
Sasso, very disappointing in two runs since winning at Ludlow last October, gave up quickly after being headed, while Sole Agent seemed to have an off-day and his rider was sending out distress signals from early on.
