Analyis of the race

Nothing to get too carried away about in this mares only novices hurdle. AIMIGAYLE had been tried over a variety of trip without winning since her bumper victory but she proved the answer here. She was best in official figures so this was no surpriseand connections said they would be back as the sharp circuit seemed to suit.

Caoba is becoming expensive to follow as she was getting 7lb from the winner and there is little between them from a handicapping point of view. This was her first try atthis far and she seemed to see it out all right albeit at the one pace.

Silver Gora, making her hurdles debut after showing glimmers of ability in bumpers, will have to come on for this.
