Analyis of the race

A pretty competitive handicap, high on quantity, fell to GOODBYE MR BOND, who has been a grand servant down the years and who bounced back to winning form with a typically gritty effort. Although he is beginning to get on in years, he remains a capable horse at this level and it will a surprise if he fails to win again this term.

Just Bond, not as well drawn as the winner, ran a good race, but spoiled his chances by hanging to his right inside the last. He looks in good nick. Nevada Desert's spirited effort confirmed that his turn will come.

The remainder were well held. Ahlawy, not well drawn, ran respectably and should not be long in winning off the favourable mark to which he's now slipped. Billy One Punch was unableto overcome his wide draw.

*Celtic Step was reported by his jockey to have lost his action.
