Analyis of the race

SHY GLANCE had shown patchy form this season prior to this success. Travelling well just in behind the leaders, the result was never in doubt once he swept to the front approaching the final furlong.

Grandad Bill has never won away from Thirskbut he finished best of all, having come from off the pace. He's well worth another chance.

Inch High did best of those racing from the front and he made the running until passed by the winner. He's been running well over hurdles and this was a good return to the Flat.

Black Falcon also held every chance at the furlong marker but his long, losing spell speaks for itself.

Marieschi raced well out the back and never got serious on this step back in trip.
