Analyis of the race

There was a fair gallop to this bumper in which RUBYS COVE, second on his bumper debut here, got off the mark at the third attempt. He did it well, for he was cruising throughout and was the only one on the bridle coming to the last two furlongs. Shaken up, he quickened clear, and though he idled a bit in front, he won it in fair style.

Pistolet Time did very well to finish as close as he did, for he nearly unseated his rider at the start, ran green, but came up with every chance two furlongsout, and though outpaced by the winner, shaped well enough to suggest he can pick up a race.

Tantobie was being ridden along down the far side, but he stayed on and shapes as though he needs a decent test.

Secret Police had everychance, but he was outpaced in the last three furlongs.
