Analyis of the race

A fair handicap and it looked quite competitive beforehand, but they finished surprisingly strung out and nothing could live with THE SNATCHER, who returned to form in style on his return from around six months off the track. He failed to win last year, but had dropped to a mark 14lb lower than when last successful and he took full advantage. Having been well placed from the off, he shot clear when produced with his challenge in the straight and maintained his challenge to the line.

He should prove hard to beat if turned out under a penalty, but things will be much tougher once he is reassessed.

Davenport, without the cheekpieces and dropped in trip, improved on the form he showed on his reappearance at Doncaster, but he was still beaten a long way.

Danski hung left under pressure and could not build on the form he showed when fourth on the Polytrack at Kempton on his reappearance.
