Analyis of the race

Several likeable types in what looked an above-average race of its kind. FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY represented Paul Nicholls and followed the example of his relatives Davenport Milenium and Little Buckie with a fluent success under Harry Skelton.

The winner had been catching the eye on the Ditchest gallops with winning hurdler Qrackers and benefited from a confident waiting ride from Harry Skelton.

Timon's Present showed plenty of promise in chasing the winner home, and might have been a bit closer but for jinking towards the paddock gate.

 Enchanted Approach was one to take out of it, staying on well to gain a frame finish in the last few strides. From the family of Whitbread winner Harwell Lad, she should have no trouble landing one of these.
