Analyis of the race

A low-grade handicap and an open one, although there was no doubt that WIZARD LOOKING had a good chance here if able to reproduce his recent AW form off a 10lb lower mark. He was a turf winner in his younger days, but he has fragile legs and so connections were worried about the drying ground. Held up, he was poised for his effort when regular front runner Icannshift got to the head of affairs two furlongs out, and when he went to the front a furlong later he was always holding on, although challenged on all sides. This was his third win from six starts since joining this stable following a long absence.

Mid Valley has also been in form on the AW, but he is off much the same mark on turf. From a stable in form, he was switched right insidethe final furlong and ran on to just get the better of dead-heaters Brave Quest, who was up in distance significantly and ran much better this time, and Barbirolli, who is on a decent mark now and ran well.

Nor was On Every Street, who was also keeping on.

Hugh Collingridge reported Lord Laing was struck into.
