Theatre Girl tracked leaders in 3rd, went 2nd 5th, slight lead 3 out, soon clear, shaken up after next, easily
Fit To Drive in rear, headway 5th, stayed on from 3 out and chased winner approaching 2 out, kept on approaching last but never any chance
Sumdancer chased leader, hampred 5th, upsides 3 out, soon weakened and dropped back to moderate 3rd 2 out
Quillan Hill led, not fluent 2nd, went badly right and ridden 5th, narrowly head 3 out, weakened rapidly
Pepito Collonges behind from 5th
Let Em Come jumped slowly 1st, always well behind
Debord prominent early, behind from 4th, tailed off
Sparkys Reflection in rear, moderate effort 4th, well beaten 5th when fell 3 out
Missus Jones soon tailed off, pulled up after 5th
Fit To Drive was the one to take out of the race as she showed a marked step up in form. Making steady headway throughout the final mile, she kept on well for minor honours and would be very interesting if going for a handicap.
Quillan Hill proved erratic when jumping violently right at the one in front of the stands. Under a double penalty, life was always going to betough in this but even so he proved disappointing.
