Analyis of the race

With the ground now hock-deep, an upset loomed, which arrived courtesy of PENNYSPIDER.

Although 5lb wrong, if William Buick''s claim was taken into account, the winner, who had been in front a furlong out in a maiden here last week, set the pace up the centre of the course and was in no mood to go back to the others.

Her trainer Malcolm Saunders said: "She needed to improve to win, but I thought she had it in her as long as she handled the conditions."

Saranome attracted support and finished well on the far side, to comprehensively turn round last season''s form with the disappointing Capefly.

The latter is by Cape Cross, a pedigree which lends itself to the cut, but after being slowly away was always struggling.
