Analyis of the race

Testing ground after the meeting had survived a couple of inspections and in this race, three fences per circuit were omitted.

This was a modest contest but MADAM HARRIET revelled in these conditions, and ridden up with the pace, she led from theeighth and stayed on strongly. She's pretty exposed.

Solemn Vow was never going, and earned her second place to the persistence of her rider, who was driving her from almost the word go and got into second after the last.

Carry Duff started favourite, but was struggling a long way out and was pulled up.
