Analyis of the race

Not too much strength in depth to this handicap hurdle and it was dominated by the front two in the market.

Turning for home FELINIOUS, who had made all the running, looked a sitting duck for the strong travelling Mr Boo, but Felinious proved herself very resilient when push came to shove and she out battled Mr Boo to register a fourth win from five starts over hurdles.

She remains lightly raced and open to improvement, this ground is ideal for her and she can continue to pay her way this summer providing the assessor doesn't go overboard with her mark.

Mr Boo was eventually beaten seven lengths, which looked unlikely early in the straight when he travelled well, but his finishing effort wasn't as strong as looked likely and he emerged a clear second best. Perhaps he just blew up a bit on his first start for 173-days and he remains well treated over hurdles so expect him to ake amends at some point soon.

Sovereign Spirit has yet to win over hurdles and although he wasn't disgraced, this ground is probably too lively for him.
