Analyis of the race

An average maiden, won in pleasing style by MILITARY POWER, who produced a workmanlike display. There is nothing flashy about him, but he does his job in a professional manner and he ran on well here, looking as if appreciating this first try at thislonger trip. He will now go down the handicap route - he is currently rated 83 - and although it won't be easy for him, he has the physical scope to progress further.

Hunting Country confirmed the promise he showed on his debut and went down fighting in second place. He should have no problem losing his maiden tag.

King Fingal, who ran a sound race on his debut at Thirsk over a 1m, had no apparent excuses here over this longer trip, and he was found wanting in the last couple of furlongs. To his credit, he beat the remainder very comfortably, the rest of the runners coming home at various intervals.
