Analyis of the race

He may have had his problems last season, but his trainer has got FORCE GROUP fit and well, and the winner stuck to his task well on this seasonal return. He is effective over an extra 2f too.

Lucayan Dancer kept plugging away, but just couldn't get to the winner. It was a fair effort under top weight.

Three Strings, having his first run since September 2006, carried 2lb overweight and that might have made a difference, certainly as far as second place was concerned, so it was a pleasing effort under all the circumstances.

Wulimaster had a chance two out, but hung left and weakened. He is usually better for a run and this was his first of the term.
