Analyis of the race

The well backed favourite Krisnando made a complete hash of the start and although she stayed on well in the closing stages she simply had far too much ground to make up.EVERYBODY KNOWS, who had shown promise in his first two starts, was always close to the pace and having moved through to throw down his challenge well over a furlong out, stayed on best to make a winning handicap debut.

Red Merlin was also never far off the pace and he put in some good late work to improve significantly on avery subdued seasonal return.

El Duende and Trenchant both finished their races encouragingly.
