One To Follow chased leaders, ridden 3f out, weakened from 2f out, out of contention when slightly hampered 1f out
Ocean Avenue led until headed inside final 3f, soon weakened
DOUBLE SPECTRE appreciated the step up to this distance as he held too many guns for the opposition. He had been second at Bath last time but the winner has been beaten over hurdles since, so the form is only average.
Colonel Flay had appeared not to get home when stepped up to 1m6f last time and found this trip much more to his liking.
Summer Of Love, having her first run for her new trainer, ran as well as could be expected.
There were three horses - Good Effect, Bold Bobby Be and Resplendent Ace - who were probably going to finish closer than they did as they met trouble in running of one form or another in the closing stages.
