Comments in running

Reflector prominent in chasing group, 15 lengths 3rd at 5th, closed 7th, led 3 out, 8 lengths clear next, joined and looking very vulnerable when left well clear last

Young Tot close up in main group, chased leading pair after 3 out, well behind them from next, left poor 2nd at last

Bob Justice lost place 5th, well behind after 7th, stayed on to go poor 3rd near finish

Super Kay off pace in midfield, headway after 7th, modest 4th when mistake 2 out, left 3rd at last until close home

Valjean chased clear leader and well clear of rest, weakened before 8th, left poor 4th at last

Chockdee always well behind, struggling when jumped left 7th, tailed off 3 out

Man From Highworth mistake 1st, headway 6th, struggling under pressure when mistake 3 out

Andy Anshan behind, ridden 5th, struggling next

Per Amore reluctant to race and hopelessly tailed off from 5th

I´m Dreaming not jump well, lost place 4th, tailed off before 8th

Silver Dollars led group chasing 2 clear leaders, jumped right 4th, weakened after 7th, tailed off and pulled up last

Star Double mistake 2nd, stopped rapidly after 6th, tailed off and pulled up 8th

Lile Na Casca never near leaders, tailed off 3 out, pulled up last

De Luain Gorm set blistering pace in clear lead, weakening before 8th, blundered and headed 3 out, immediately beaten, pulled up last

Armaturk raced wide and took keen hold well off pace, poor 7th before 8th, good progress to 8 lengths 2nd 2 out, quickened to challenge on bit when rider got unbalanced and horse fell last, very unlucky

Light Des Mulottes ridden and headway in 4th after 7th, weakening in midfield when blundered 3 out, soon pulled up 2 out

Theme Park jumped badly in rear, tailed off last when fell heavily 4th




Analyis of the race

They went a merciless gallop in this hunter chase and those who took part up front paid the penalty. REFLECTOR has to be counted a fortunate winner as he had been collared by the strong-travelling Armaturk at the final fence before that rival fluffedhis lines and hit the deck. The winner had finished behind the trailblazing De Luain Gorm at Cheltenham last timer but managed to reverse that form emphatically. However the form is not worth too much as hunter chases over this trip are few and far between.
