Analyis of the race

WOTASHIRTFULL is beginning to fulfil his potential and he won well here, following-up his Newcastle success and doing so against older rivals. Gelded earlier in the season, he may well have turned the corner now. There is surely more to come from him.

Never Without Me looks to be coming to hand. He showed bags of foot here and was only outpointed inside the last.

Highland Warrior, done no favours by the outside draw, made headway inside the final two furlongs, but he was unable to quicken inside the last on ground he relishes.

Timber Treasure just found his 6lb penalty against him on this drop back to the minimum trip.

Fast Freddie ran a decent race, but Steel City Boy and Mandurah were well held.
