Analyis of the race

Just a modest gallop to begin with in this maiden hurdle, though it ended up a fair test. SPARE CASH, with the best form and proven in the conditions, outclassed his rivals, taking it up three out and soon going clear. He is related to the stable's D'Argent and is viewed as a potential chaser.

Double Intruder raced keenly early on and wasn't disgraced. Although he has run well enough to win over hurdles, he is likely to do better when he goes back over fences, presumably next season.

The Hudnalls stuck on despite a tired jump at the second-last and shaped like a stayer. Eliza Doalott, quite keen early, is likely to do better in small handicaps, while Sir Winston was prominent for a long way and is another who is likely to do better in small handicaps.
