Analyis of the race

GOLAN WAY was the clear form pick on his 6l win over Sendani here last month, but his hurdling still needs working on and he was almost undone by a blunder at the fifth on this occasion. However, he jumped well apart from that - certainly much betterthan on his previous outing here - and he was holding Sendani and Motarjm when that pair departed at the last. He will now be given a break before coming back in the autumn.

Johny Scruff, second in a bumper at Uttoxeter last time, was never a serious factor on this hurdles debut but was gifted another second place by the fall of Sendani, who dived across Motarjm at the last and brought that horse down in a messy pile-up.Motarjm, three times a winner on the Flat this year and having his first hurdles run since a debut third at Huntingdon last October, was a bit buzzy early on and that possibly cost him in the closing stages as he was held in third when brought down.
