Analyis of the race

Despite jumping the last flight in fifth, with the leaders all struggling to get home, SCUTCH MILL found the necessary reserves to overhaul them all under a good ride from Felix de Giles. He had run poorly on the Flat at Beverley last week and is unlikely to make a major impact if returned to that sphere.

Nevsky Bridge was another to come from the back of the bunch to take second place. He had been upsides the winner at the last and stayed on well without being quite able to get his head in front.

Kristiansand led or disputed the lead for much of the race and was tapped for toe between the last two and stayed on at one pace.

Joint favourite Samizdat had taken the lead jumping the last from the well-backed Nounou, but neither was able to raise another effort on the run-in.
