Analyis of the race

A maiden hunter chase run at a modest gallop in which three fences per circuit were omitted.

It went to FIFTYFIVE DEGREES, who was a touch keen early, but travelled well up with the pace and stayed on strongly from the second last. He's only lightly raced, and though this form is nothing out of the ordinary, this was only his fifth race and he should improve.

Overlady, who had failed to complete in three of her five runs point-to-pointing, ran on well to finish a clear second, shaping well enough to suggest there is a similar race in her.

The disappointment as prolific winning pointer Ask Bobby, who was nevergoing well, and had dropped off the pace when he made a mistake at the third last.
