Analyis of the race

A very impressive win by CASTLETOWN BOY who was taken slightly wide by Murphy in search of the better ground, a tactic which paid huge dividends. He was never too far off the pace and after hitting the front at the third-last was always comfortably in control. On this showing, there is better to come.

Favourite Danny Zuko was chasing the leaders from early on and looked a big danger running down to the last flight, but he could not muster another effort and found the winner running away from him in the closing stages.

Back To The Wind ran prominently for some way, but dropped away tamely in the end and was very disappointing.
