Analyis of the race

Plenty with chances at the weights in this handicap and not much between the first four at the line.

WIGWAM WILLIE had run his best races previously with more give in the ground but the step back up to 1m2f may have helped him in that regard and he stayed on well on the inside to lead well inside the final 1f. He certainly stays this trip and looks back in form, though he will be heading back up the handicap as a result.

Intersky Charm ran a good race, coming from behind on a track where that is never easy, making ground from over 2f out to have every chance inside the final 1f and just losing out - he is clearly on a winning mark at present.

Sculastic was given the ideal ride for a horse dropping back in trip, leading until well inside the final 1f, and ran a decent race in third but will probably benefit from reverting to further. Bed Fellow had run well when sixth here on his penultimate start, when the runner-up this time was third, and did even better 12 days on, always prominent and finishing a close fourth from out of the handicap.
