Analyis of the race

Less uncompetitive than most races on this card, with several of these in some sort of form, but plenty failed to get into it and the first five were pretty much the only ones that mattered from start to finish.

OWED had not been disgraced from a wide draw on his previous start, when the rain-quickened ground was reckoned against him, and proved he remains in good heart, always to the fore and just getting the better of a home-straight duel with the runner-up to prevail close home. He is well handicapped on his old form and showed that he does not necessarily need to dominate, so he is worth keeping in mind when returned to a track which suits him well.

Blakeshall Quest was 10lb higher in the weights than when gaining her sixth victory on this track and ran another fine race, leading until near the finish.

Rambling Socks had finished fourth in the same race here five days earlier and confirmed that was a decent race with another sound effort, always in touch.

Jojesse was also in touch from the off on this first run since he rejoined Alan Swinbank and he shaped as though he retains ability.

Limonia missed the break from her wide draw and could not recover - she had beaten the first, second and fourth when winning here five days previously and is well worth another chance when more favourably berthed.
