Analyis of the race

This champion novice hunter chase boiled down to just four in with any chance by the home turn. ROBBERS GLEN is unbeaten in points when completing and came into this heat with two recent Kelso hunter chase wins under his belt so he had every chance. He had no problems with this trip and the rain that fell before racing helped his cause. He is definitely going the right way in the context of this company.

Irish raider French Thyne was given a very patient ride and looked to have every chance turning in but might not have quite got home over this extended trip.

Lady Myfanwy has been on the go a long time and has given her connections a lot of fun. This was a good run taking everything into consideration.
