Analyis of the race

A big field of handicap sprinters in this Class 5 event, which was won in grand style by TIMBER TREASURE, who lost his maiden tag in decisive style. Formerly trained by Henry Cecil, and raced at up to 1m2f, he seemed to find this distance ideal and won with something to spare. The handicapper won't spare him for for this, but he should be able to win again.

Steel Blue came out best of the rest and looks to be running into form. On only his second start of the campaign, John Keats shaped well, a lot better than his comeback run. Peter Island ran a creditable race on his second race back. Poppy's Rose continues to run respectably, while Hypnotic, back on turf, and having only his second start of the season, ran a pleasing race and may be finally coming back to form. Zamalik finished tailed off on his reappearance and was reported to have lost his action.
