Analyis of the race

This was an ordinary novices' hurdle which was won by EMMENSO, who had shown promise on his debut, but was pulled up on his previous start. He came from off the pace and stayed on well to lead after the last. A big horse, he looks much more of a chaser and according to his trainer, he will be better suited by good ground.

Or D'Oudairies was a bit keen early, but settled after a couple of flights, and although clear at the last, he was reeled in by the winner. This was an improvement on his previous starts, and as he is beginning to settle better, he should find a race.

Winning pointer Lockstown wasn't disgraced on his first run over hurdles.
