Analyis of the race

An open looking handicap at its level and NO GROUSE bounced back to form with his favourite jockey on board. Seven furlongs may be his trip but the stiff six suited him, though interestingly David Allan, who has ridden him to all seven of his wins, reported that the gelding had never shown as much early pace as he did on this occasion.

Forzandi ran a cracker after more than a year off. He only just failed and was well clear of the third.

Botham kept on but never looked like getting there. It was his second run in three days.

Yorkshire Blue got behind as usual but was not able to pick up on this occasion.

Opal Noir was keen and showed speed but was well beaten in the end.
