Analyis of the race

A modest affair for this handicap chase where the vast majority all had a fairly well exposed look about them.

DOWN THE STRETCH had not won for almost 18 months but the faster spring ground came to his aid and he won going away. He has won over further so there were no stamina doubts at this trip but the bare form is ordinary as far as the future goes.

Master D'Or wins in his turn but the handicapper has him just about right at present.

Wizard Of Edge seems to save his best efforts for Wincanton where has won his last three races.
