Analyis of the race

OPTIMUS PRIME fairly ruthlessly exposed the flaws in the runner-up and favourite. One almost lost count of the number of times he came back for more having looked beaten. He led early on and consistently outjumped the opposition. It looked as though the race was going to assume the predicted pattern when Le Toscan went to the front a circuit out, but the eventual winner just kept coming back for more. He jumped on again four out but having been headed again before the second-last he rallied rightback from the final fence to win going away. Goodish ground is very important to him and he thoroughly deserved this win with the attitude he showed. The runner-up didn't disgrace himself exactly, but having been in a position to win the race on more than one occasion, he didn't go through with his effort and was deservedly beaten by a far more willing individual. He deserves to be treated with some caution after this performance.

Predictably the remainder were outclassed. Bemo Two led early on and was prominent for a good portion of the race before he was beaten after two out, and not for the first time there was a bit of promise shown by Kirkstall, who jumped well for the most part and has a bit of ability.
