Analyis of the race

A low grade affair. SILVER BLUE had more than a touch of class in his younger days and was rated 99 by the BHA after his close third to Atlantic Waves in a Listed race at Newmarket at three. He had not won since and had plummeted in the weights to such an extent that he was not quite in the proper handicap even in a race in which the bottom weights were on just 46.nHaving his first race for a new stable, he took a little while to warm up, then came from just off the pace on the wide outside to leadnear the finish and win a bit more comfortably than the bare margin suggests. He is engaged again at Bath today and is likely to run if none the worse for his efforts here.

Astroangel, off her lowest mark, made a respectable return to action after five months off the track, but the winner aside, this would not be a race in which to be looking for too many positives.

Shane Kelly reported that Fervent hung left and was unsuited by the track.
