Analyis of the race
This stamina-sapping circuit proved just right for KENTMERE as he stayed on well from the last to get the better of Cooldine Boy.The winner wants further than 2m these days and connections will keep him on the go as he prefers this better ground. Given his current mark it would be no surprise if he were able to collect again.
Cooldine Boy was stepping back down in trip after disappointing over a near 3m last time on his chasing debut. His trainer does well with his horses in the summer monthsand it would be no surprise if this was another.
Arctic Spirit, racing from out of the handicap proper not taking into account his rider's claim. ran as well as could be expected.
