Analyis of the race

This proved easy meat for BRONZE CANNON who had been raised 10lb for a neck defeat of Doctor Fremantle in a handicap over course and distance at the Craven meeting and could well have earned a trip to the Derby. The runner-up had since won the Chester Vase and will be supplemented for Epsom for £75,000 and, with an entry already, who could blame connections for letting him take his chance. He had been settled in the rear but was always travelling supremely well for Jimmy Fortune and swept to the front two furlongs out and only had to be pushed clear. He has to improve a lot to take a hand in the finish at Epsom but, in a year when there are a lot of doubts, could well run a respectable race.

Love Galore was soon tracking the leader but ran wellagainst what was a handicap blot and he too will be winning soon. Better Hand was close up from the start and just faded in the closing stages and Almoutaz had led the field until headed by the winner and may be a mile could prove his best trip.
