Analyis of the race

This was run at a decent gallop, and winning Irish pointer, DIABLO, made all, and after going clear early in the straight, stayed on strongly. He's a horse with plenty of scope and though this wasn't the strongest of bumpers, he scored in good style and is an interesting prospect.

Heart O' The West looks a thorough stayer, because he was outpaced 4f out, but ran on well to take second from Carrickboy, who ran a sound race, in touch, but not quickening from 3f out. Pontop ran creditablyto be a staying-on fourth, and he looks the sort who should progress.

Weather Front probably ran up to his previous form, andafter racing in touch, Carndonagh faded in the straight.
