Analyis of the race

Another run-of-the-mill affair and the first two pulled right away from their rivals but it would be unwise to get too carried away with the bare form even in the context of the race as the ground probably more than played its part as far as the others were concerned.

POCKETWOOD has not had much racing over hurdles and is relatively unexposed. He stuck on well up the home straight to hold off the runner-up and should have no problems with a bit further.

Great Grimsby has seemingly had a few chances now without getting his head in front.

Nomad was trying to build on a somewhat promising placed effort last time but could make no impression off the home bend.
