Analyis of the race

Plenty of these would have had stamina problems at this trip in this seller but LE FOREZIEN had won at an extended 3m in the past and this drop beck into the bottom grade saw him win again for the first time in over two years. His run at Newton Abbotlast time in a non-seller gave him a good chance at this distance even though he was not the best treated horse on official figures. He has obviously not been the easiest horse to train but he stays well in the context of this race.

Galtee View had a fair chance at the weights on official figures but he seems to be deteriorating.

Arabian Moon is a thoroughly exposed veteran these days.
