Analyis of the race

This handicap hurdle was run at a good gallop and KINGS ROCK, prominent early, was dropped into midfield before coming home strongly, drawing right away after the last. Although he'll go right up in the weights, he is in fine form and was defying a penalty for winning last week at Market Rasen, where the ground was far less testing than it was here.

Miss Mitch, who raced in touch, looked beaten three out but kept on to take second from Valiant Shadow, who went for home going to three out but got very tired in the closing stages and lost second place close home. He left the impression he is better than the bare form.
