Analyis of the race

An open race on paper was fought out by WE'RE DELIGHTED and Dolly No Hair, with the former getting home the better. A horse who had shown ability in maidens last season for Mick Channon, the winner was bought for 10,000gns at the autumn sales and is the sort to progress in handicap company. Gelded since last term, he will stay a bit further on the evidence of this performance.

Dolly No Hair made a spirited bid, but was worried out of it by the winner well inside the last. Both first and secondedged away to the left and it is possible that both of them were not wholly happy on the quick ground.

Sylvias Grove was well held.
