Analyis of the race

A strongly run conditions event but nothing got into it from off the pace and NOTA BENE stalked pacesetter Tamagin before moving through to take over just over a furlong from home.

He kept on well to bounce back in tremendous style from his spellin the wilderness and earn a crack at the Wokingham for which he is due to carry 8st 11lb, but he incurs a 5lb penalty for this success. A high-class and most progressive sprinter in his youth, he has developed the very worrying tendency to break blood vessels, which in itself would be enough to put many punters off backing him, but he's potentially a well-handicapped horse nowadays if building on this and staying sound, and this was an excellent effort off such a lengthy absence.

Berbice was very strong in the market but he could never land a blow on the front pair, just keeping on at the one pace for pressure. He was dropping back in trip having not appeared to see out the 7f at Newmarket on seasonal return but this effort suggests he might need that extra furlong.

Capricorn Run got outpaced and was virtually tailed off at one point but despite plugging on for pressure he was beaten 7l and he's not at his best at present.
