Analyis of the race

The field was reduced by one when Hamilton winner Fathey was withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls.

ABLE MASTER, having made a winning debut at Ripon, was sent off favourite to follow up and, although he succeeded, it was a close-run thing. He's clearly tough and is plainly going the right way. A sixth furlong will probably suit him even better.

Kingswinford, with three respectable, but winless efforts under his belt, this looked a tough assignment for him, but he only just failed in a bobbing finish. He ought to be able to win a race, especially as he's finished clear of the remainder.

Toby Tyler deserves credit for his fourth-placed effort. Dropped back in trip, he was outpaced through the first half of the race, but he knuckled down well late on and was keeping on stoutly towards the finish. Softer ground will suit him better and, in due course,so will seven furlongs.

Red Cell was comfortably beaten, while Moon Warrior was out of his depth.
