Analyis of the race

Mainly exposed sorts in this 0-100 handicap hurdle for amateur riders, but the pace was fair and MAJOR MALARKEY, who wasn't entirely fluent, came from behind to lead between the last two to win driven out. He certainly stays three miles well.

Lily Tara came into the race in good form, and finished a creditable second, keeping on well.
