Analyis of the race

Not many obviously in form ahead of this low-grade handicap chase, and only four were in contention from four out.But this appears to be the time of year for BRONSON F’SURE, who won three times towards the end of last season and gained his first success since then here, leading and soon clear, looking up against it when he was headed three out but rallying to lead again after two out for a game success. He is clearly back in form and should continue to give a good account while the ground remains decent.

Auntie Kathleen faced a stiffer task than when winning a claiming chase at Ayr seven days earlier and made an encouraging debut for her new trainer, keeping on well.

Hunter chaser Vital Spark ran his best race in handicap company, chasing the leader for a long way but weakening on the run-in.

Of the more fancied runners, Ouragan De Prairie was badly let down by his jumping, Time Bandit disappointed again, while Willies Way remains out of form.
