Analyis of the race

The chance of MASSIMO was made easier by the withdrawal of It's Like That , but he may well have won in any case given that he jumped very well and had the race in the bag off the home turn. He came into the race on the back of two clear-cut win in points and is obviously in good heart. He could head to Cheltenham's hunter meeting next month to contest the 2m5f event which will be harder, but he could well be up to it.

Memories Of Gold was given the Mansell bump-along treatment and, in fairness, responded well, albeit at the one pace.

The Tailor Carey should have been suited by this trip but perhaps he needs a more conventional circuit.
