Analyis of the race

A persistent shower before racing had got into the ground and the riders reckoned the going was close to perfect for this time of year. This handicap chase looked oneway traffic for OUMEYADE, who had been pulled up after taking the wrong course last weekend, and he did not let his supporters down. He travelled, jumped and won hard held and will make a quick reappearance at the course on Saturday under a penalty. As he is rated much higher over hurdles he is obviously a very well-treated horse over fences and should win more races.

Ask Oscar, having his first try over fences, ran well enough to suggest there could be a little race in him with this experience under his belt.

Theocritus continues to frustrate as he has not built on earlier promise despite being on and attractive mark.
