Analyis of the race

Another modest affair. JOMELAMIN had run well enough at a big price last time to be given a chance against these rivals and she duly obliged. This was only her seventh try over hurdles but connections will do well to find another opening like this where everything appeared to fall right for her.

Cornish Jester was supported in the market and looked like repaying his backers, but he tended to hang at the last hurdle and effectively gave it away. Opportunities like this are not that easy to find, even at this time of year.

He's The Gaffer is much better in over hurdles ratings than fences but still cannot win.
