Analyis of the race

A competitive little handicap in which there were half a dozen in with chances a furlong out. NOW YOU SEE ME, who had won off a 5lb lower mark here early last month but then hung badly throughout when finishing a never-dangerous fifth, behind Taboor (finished seventh here), Bentley and Twinned next time, again hung on this occasion - but not so badly that she could not be ridden, and Robert Winston showed his strength in the saddle as he produced her late to show that, for all her quirks, she is still on the upgrade.

Wibbadune, who had run no sort of race in a first-time visor last time, raced without headgear on this occasion and returned to the form that had seen her beat Time Share at Lingfield last month. She was not helped by her outside draw, and does not need to improve much on this effort to be winning again.

Bentley and Twinned are others who are finding it hard to win these days and, though the pair showed plenty of dash, they were again found wanting at the business end.
