Analyis of the race

A modest affair. FAIRFIELD FLAME, who had cost 230,000gns as a foal but had proved most disappointing in four runs to this point, was here fitted with blinkers for the first time and stepped up from 1m2f. She was not travelling all that well early inthe straight, but picked up to good effect from two furlongs out and, though she hung as she went clear, she was good value for her 3l margin of victory.

Tasheba, a 7f winner at Yarmouth last season and a fair fourth on his reappearance over 1m3f at Warwick last month, improved for this further step up in distance and should be able to find races at this level this summer.

Kiribati King, raised 5lb for his recent win at Beverley, lacked the speed toever get competitive on this occasion but plugged on well enough for pressure. There was market support for the stoutly-bred Io on her first try at this trip, but she never looked like getting into the mix.
