Analyis of the race

A selling hurdle with mostly exposed sorts. GENERAL ALARM is rated 103, and won a couple of novice chases in 2006. He has been hunter-chasing recently, and had shown a reluctance to start, but he jumped off this time, made all and after kicking cleardown the far side, he ran on to score driven out. Although not entirely straightforward, he's fair in this grade, but it was an enterprising ride by his amateur partner.

Flying Doctor, dropped in grade, chased him from the third-last but though he kept on, he could get to him. However, he ran well enough to suggest he can pick up a seller.
