Analyis of the race

A traditional race at this festival, confined to members of the Kildare Hunt, but easily the worst quality race of the week and it doesn't warrant too many column inches. John Carr described the winner WHITE HEAD as not having much of a future, and that probably sums up the race as he won it well and was value for an easier success. Held up in mid-division, he made gradual progress and travelled well to lead between the final two fences, and despite drifting to the right under pressure on the run-in, he kept on well enough to score with a bit more in hand than the margin of victory.

Fourth in this race last year, Ground Ivy ran a similar race this time in a weaker renewal. Handy most of the way, he kept on well from the second-last but wasn't quite able to take advantage of the wanderings of the winner.

The always-prominent Inoma James was headed after a mistake at the second last and came home at one pace from there and finished a mile clear of everything else.

Round And Round was in touch when almost coming to a standstill after a mistake three out.

Favourite Turn Up made a bad mistake at the first, but did get back on an even keel and raced prominently before he came under pressure and weakened quickly after the third-last. He was pulled up early in the straight. [JO'H]
