Analyis of the race
A very moderate affair.
BIJOU DAN had a better chance than most on official figures and having been running consistently he gained a deserved success in decisive fashion.
Pendragon has not shown a lot in bumpers or over hurdles but he ran quite well on his Flat debut and put up another decent performance here. Another quarter mile may suit him too.
Court Of Appeal was just run out of second close home and he continues to run consistently enough.
Besi had a very tough task at the weights and a winner three times in Germany last year, he ran his best race, though everything is relative of course, since coming to Britain.
