Analyis of the race

What looked modest but fairly competitive novice handicap chase was taken apart by EXTRA BOLD, who won as he pleased. He jumped well and had the race in safe keeping once hitting the front three out and his trainer reckoned the fastish ground really suited him. As he won by a long way he faces quite a hike up the weights and he could turn out again at Uttoxeter on Sunday.

Sea Saffron plugged on without ever having any chance of getting near the winner. There is a race of this nature in this one at some stage, however.

Red Granite looked sure to win at Market Rasen last time until coming down. This will have served as a confidence booster and he should be found an opening over the summer as he likes this type of ground.
