Analyis of the race

The ground was rather patchy as the riders declared it to be closer to good to soft in places and quicker in others. This selling handicap hurdle was a pretty unmemorable affair even though SOVIET SCEPTRE absolutely hacked up in the end. He is flattered to win as far as he did as they went fast up front and he was able to come from way off the pace and settled matters in a matter of strides. But whichever way you look at it this is his grade.
