Can Can Flyer made all, ridden after 3 out, driven out
Chunky Lad held up, went 3rd approaching 5th, ridden and ridder dropped whip approaching last, kept on to take 2nd flat, not reach winner
Rapscallion chased winner, ridden after 3 out, no extra and lost 2nd flat
Honduras held up in rear, not fluent 4th, hit 5th, lost touch and hit 3 out
Kofi prominent until weakened approaching 5th, lost touch 3 out, tailed off
This selling hurdle was what you would expect for the grade.
CAN CAN FLYER had not won since he landed a similar event here 14 months ago and it was much the same on this occasion as he kept galloping to the line.
Chunky Lad, having his first outing for seven months, may well have given the winner something more to think about had his rider not dropped his whip between the last two hurdles as he kept on fairly stoutly on the run to the line. But this is his grade.
