Analyis of the race

COUNT KRISTO was the chief beneficiary of an incident-packed race in which four horses went out at the second fence. As a result, two fences down the back were by-passed on the second circuit. It was a well-deserved success for the admirably consistent Count Kristo, who according to trainer Brendan Powell only has one speed, and jumps and gallops. He is in the Doncaster sales but Powell hopes to retain him and keep him going through the summer.

Lease Back bounced back from a couple of poor efforts over hurdles to indicate he is capable of returning to a similar level of form that saw him win twice in France. He was stying-on well at the finish.

Inn For The Dancer is a longstanding maiden, who never looked like pegging-back the winner despite getting within hailing distance after the turn in.
