Analyis of the race

Only a selling hurdle but two of them went a very fast pace from the outset and the time was fractionally faster than the opening mares' contest.

KOSCIUSKO profited from a very patient ride from his jockey who failed to get interested in the frenetic pace and the ploy worked very well as she came through to win. She is nothing special and things panned out for here but this ground clearly suits and there are bound to be other weak affairs this summer.

Are You There plugged on but gave the impression he is far from a straightforward ride.

Sir Night is on a fair mark but has not won for ages.

One Nation, the other on the early pace, paid for his exertions on his first try for 514 days.
