Analyis of the race

Just fair form among those to have raced in this novice event so probably ripe for the only newcomer in MASAMAH, who raced in one-cupped blinkers for this debut and looked inexperienced in the way that he tended to hang, so that he raced apart from the other runners from the off. He ended up going across to the far rail but that did not stop him collecting the prize, leading over a furlong out, and he clearly has a fair amount of ability. It is not easy to judge exactly how good he is from this effort but he looks sure to improve and is probably more than useful.

Caranbola had looked good in winning at Ripon the previous month and she confirmed that impression, always to the fore, leading over two furlongs out until over a furlong out for a decent second, ahead of the keen-going Majuba who looks headstrong and at present barely gets 5f - he may be worth giving a break and bringing back when nurseries start as he would get a very low mark, but may do better in time.
