Analyis of the race

An average novice in which CORTINAS, the clear form pick, showed a nice turn of foot on the run-in to win with the minimum of fuss. He seems to relish this fast ground, so should be able to find further winning opportunities over the summer.

Parlesotho, a dual winner on the Flat in France and here having her second run since joining Alan King's stable, probably ran to the same mark as when runner-up at Hereford at the start of the month, but she had no answer to the winner's change of gear.

Amwell Brave, who is rated only 50 on the Flat and was beaten off that mark at Southwell last week, kept on for a respectable third, outstaying Quantique, who was having her first outing since running fifth over 1m4f on the Flat in France nine months ago and, after having every chance off the home turn, could not sustain her challenge late on.
