Analyis of the race

A decent handicap in which the front three finished clear, and two of them were unexposed sorts with plenty of scope. ENVISAGE was unraced at two and managed just two runs last year, winning a 1m2f maiden on easy ground at Nottingham, then running sixth of 13 in a 1m4f handicap at Doncaster. He was reported after that race to be unsuited by the good ground (good to firm in places), but he seemed to handle this faster going and won in the style of a horse who will be suited by an extra two furlongs. Arangy sort who has been gelded since last year, he should win more races.

Detonator, who had hacked up in a 1m maiden at Wolverhampton last November but had not been seen since, was facing a stiffish task on this handicap debut and turned in a decent effort under apositive ride. He is entitled to come on for the race, and should soon be winning off his present mark.
