Analyis of the race

An average handicap, run at a modest pace. SHUNKAWAKHAN’S overdue first success (at the 35th attempt) here last time has clearly done the horse's confidence some good and, despite the fact that he was a bit too keen for his own good to halfway, he battled well to the line to defy a 5lb in the weights. His new trainer has evidently found the key to the horse.

Uig ran a cracker on her first outing in over five months and does not need to improve much on this effort to be winning again. She wouldhave appreciated a stronger pace, as it would have helped her to settle better and would have brought her stamina more into play – she has shown her best form at 1m2f on turf - and in the circumstances her connections have every reason to be delighted with her.

Juzilla, taken on for the lead when a beaten favourite here last time, was allowed an uncontested lead on this occasion but refused to settle in front and capitulated tamely in the closing stages. She remains winless, and is proving frustrating at present.
