Analyis of the race

A fair four-year-old novice hurdle and the form should stand up as the four previous winners were the first four home. SHAVANSKY has progressed with each outing over hurdles and was winning for the second time in five tries. He may well have one morerun this spring before being off on a summer break but connections have high hopes that he can develop into a decent handicap hurdler next winter.

Distiller was staying on athe death but never held any hope of getting to the comfortable winner andhe gave the impression that further will not be a problem but he does not have the scope of the winner.

Haar had won a race that has failed to work out yet and his jumping left a bit to be desired.
