Analyis of the race

Having run well over course and distance earlier this season, AVONTUUR could hardly be said to be springing a surprise here although it has to be said that everything fell nicely into place. He needs to be covered up so a big field is ideal and when the gaps appeared he went through readily to win tidily enough. He loves fast ground and will be a force at this level while those conditions prevail.

Wiltshire had looked the potential winner when making his move on the far rail, but the ground may have been a tad slower on that side of the track and once the winner made his move there was no answer despite his best endeavours.

Brigadore was held up in the middle of the pack and did not get the best of runs when his rider wanted to go. He had to be switched and in the circumstances did well to finish as close as he did.
