Analyis of the race

This was won in a time on a par with the first leg landed by Fairoak Lad. CHEATING CHANCE won with a bit more in hand than the official distance suggests as he idled in front and then had to be woken up to maintain his advantage; he never looked likebeing beaten. Fences beckon for him again next autumn.

Hoof It Harry is effectively flattered to get so close to the winner, but at least he completed on this occasion and there might be a poor heat in him somewhere.

The Jolly Spoofer got tired, and is not going the right way on this evidence.
