Analyis of the race

BO McGINTY completely missed the kick in this 5f handicap, but the seven-year-old responded to a strong and persistent drive from Paul Hanagan to grab Pawan on the line. The winner had been in great form at Southwell prior to two below-par turf efforts, posting a win, two seconds and a third in four course visits through February and March. Returned to a track he clearly likes, he only just got his head in front, but given the head start he gave his rivals, there was much to like about his performance.

With the best will in the world, jockeyship played its part in the destination of the first prize, as Pawan''s rider Ann Stokell is light years behind Hanagan in terms of ability. Nevertheless, she did get a good tune out of her eight-year-old, who came agonisingly close to a first win since August 2006.

Diminuto ran badly here for the first time in her life, weakening right out of contention after racing prominently.
