Analyis of the race

This had an uncompetitive look to it, but it was won convincingly from the front by hurdling debutant GOLAN WAY. He set off at a strong pace, but was able to maintain it all the way to score unchallenged, and it will be disappointing if this ex-Flat horse, a moderate performer when trained by Ian Wood, does not go on to find more races in this grade.

Fairyland, a Listed-class miler on the Flat in Germany, had hung under pressure when a beaten favourite on her hurdling debut at Ludlow last month and she could make little impression on the winner from three out here.
