Analyis of the race

A real two-horse race for this novice chase as O'MALEY and Leading Authority were head and shoulders in front of the others on official ratings. The winner was allowed a softish lead which played into his hands as he is best when allowed to dominate.This was the first time he has been tried over this far but he had no problems in the context of this race.

Leading Authority and the winner were not far apart on ratings but he seems better suited by the galloping Exeter circuit and found it all happening a bit too quick for him.
