Analyis of the race

A second winner on the card for Richard Whitaker, courtesy of SHALOO DIAMOND, who, following two creditable efforts this season, made it third time lucky. This softer ground seemed to help him and his rider Michael Stainton did a super job keeping him off the second and third (on his inner) when he attempted to hang to his right towards the finish. There is more to come from him.

Just Rob continues to run well in defeat and is surely deserving of a winning opportunity. Mangham, stepping up slightly in trip and running on much softer ground than when winning here last time, made a spirited effort off a mark of 78. A couple of lengths clear approaching the final furlong, he was gradually worn down; he should win again.
