Comments in running

Natiain jumped well, made all, drew clear from 4 out, unchallenged

Lord Who not fluent, held up, headway to chase leaders halfway, effort 3 out, no impression from next

Anshan Spirit chased winner to 12th, soon weakened, tailed off

Finest Of Men not fluent in rear, struggling from halfway, tailed off

Harry Hooly always behind, no chance from halfway

Theatre Rights towards rear, tailed off when pulled up before 12th

Hawick prominent, blundered 8th, weakened from next, pulled up before 13th

High Expectations midfield, lost touch from 8th, tailed off when pulled up before 12th

Analyis of the race

Not the most competitive of hunter chases and it proved plain sailing for NATIAIN, who made all, jumped well and came right away from the second last to score unchallenged. Although he was pulled up in the Foxhunters at Cheltenham, he is farming these northern hunter chases and will continue to prove hard to beat. Lord Who, isn’t as good a jumper as the winner, and made a few mistakes, but though no match for the winner, he kept on for second, well clear of Anshan Spirit, who needs better ground, and Finest Of Men, who never featured.
