Analyis of the race

Another strongly run race which sorted out this field and a gamble on mares' only final fourth ARCTIC MAGIC was never in danger of going astray as the mare travelled over her rivals from a long way out under a confident ride.

She did not suffer unduly for that good Newbury run from out of the handicap and proved far too good for this field. She cruised ahead and only needed pushing out after rapping the last for an easy win. Connections may look for another race as she has not been over-raced and has taken her races well recently.

The form looks sound with three in-form rivals chasing her home. Diavoleria travelled up well into the third-last but did not initially pick up but ground out a good second. She has yet to win but on this display can win one of these events.

Heavenly Chorus ran a strange race as she travelled well in midfield before losing her place on the long run down the back straight before rallying late. Her best form has been on a sounder surface and the handicapper may not quite have got her measure off her higher mark here.

Miss Pebbles showed considerably more than on her recent reappearance but she has stood little racing, while Kanonkop, who made a mistake three out before the long run on the flat to the straight, was also improving on a weak effort last time but neither threatened to get competitive with the winner.
