Analyis of the race

Not that competitive a race for the money and BORDERLESCOTT, a narrow runner-up in six top sprints last term when never beaten more than half a length, got his head in front for the first time in six tries at this trip. He showed a good attitude under Robert Winston, who is likely to keep the ride after this first-time triumph. Robin Bastiman said mostof the top handicaps and Group 1's are off the agenda and he is probably to be aimed at conditions and Listed company.

Fathom Five stuck on quite gamely late on and is likely to come on for this seasonal opener. He'll be interesting with this under his belt.

Look Busy was switched to the centre of the track and came home in decent style. She's another that will be a lot sharper next time.
