Analyis of the race

The meeting only went ahead after an inspection following torrential morning rain. However, the first hurdle in the home straight was omitted due to the heavy ground on that part of the course where there were worries beforehand and the going was changed to soft for the rest of the circuit. Only three could be taken seriously in this maiden hurdle and they came home more or less at intervals in the very testing conditions.

BRAYFORD LAD had looked something of a lad when running out at Chepstow last time but he made up for that as he battled well to get the better of warm favourite Bormo after the pair went clear. He ran about at his hurdles here in the straight but did nothing else wrong. He is handicapped now and that will be it until next autumn when he will have no difficulties in getting further.

Alfloramoor, having his first run over hurdles, was left behind by the front two which is not surprising and his future will be in handicaps in time.

A Little More, making his appearance over hurdles, ran as well as could be expected.

Little Bit Of Hush is now up for a mark but he is eight years old and this was only his fourth race.
