Analyis of the race

Not a bad little handicap and GRAND VIZIER was able to record his first turf success from a lucrative mark for his in form trainer. He had beaten a Luca Cumani hot pot when making it three out of three on the all weather at Great Leighs three weeks earlier and was 9lb lower on the turf and made good progress from mid-division to lead a furlong out and was ridden out to score readily. He shouldn't go up too much for this and could find further success on the turf.

Kunte Kinteh signaled his return to form as he held a prominent position throughout and kept on and he could find a little race soon.

Farefield Lodge had the visor on for the first time and led towards the far side over two furlongs out before keeping on at the same pace when headed. He ran a reasonable race once more. Grey Boy was soon chasing and made headway to lead two furlongs out but faded once headed at the furlong pole.

Billy Red ran a respectable race without suggesting he will be on the winning trail in the near future.

Hazytoo was the interesting horse in the race as he was slowly away and trailing the field but he kept on well in the final furlong and he is definitely one to bear in mind for a similar race in the near future.
