Analyis of the race

One by one they dropped away in this ordinary novices' handicap chase. I'M SUPREME is not the most fluent in the jumping department, but he was galvanised by his rider to collect here and won going away in the end. This was not a bad effort under topweight in the circumstances, but his tendency to prove clumsy will not help in better company.

Highland Chief had gone up 20lb for his two wins on this sort of ground; he is not one of his stable's leading lights.

Classic Clover made a couple of errors and could not get himself back into the race off this higher mark.
