Analyis of the race

XPRES MAITE has been a revelation since being fitted with a visor this season, and this was his fifth win of the year. The opposition may not have amounted to much, but he absolutely annihilated them and another leap in the weights is sure to follow after this victory under a 6lb penalty for last week''''s Southwell win.

Most of those who finished behind the winner are well exposed and regressive these days. Flying Bantam can be counted an exception as this was his first outing since he won atBeverley last July, with Xpres Maite back in third. He proved no match for the Bowring horse this time, but is sure to come on for this run and he is still relatively unexposed on the all-weather.
