Analyis of the race

A modest bumper run at a sound pace in near darkness. CLOVA ISLAND, a newcomer with size and scope, came between horses to lead near the line. He looks a fair prospect and will probably come under the hammer at Doncaster Sales in August.

Bumble Rose, who had shown ability on both her two starts, took them along at a good gallop. She stuck on in willing fashion, but was nailed near the line and has one more chance to get off the mark in this type of race.

The remainder, headed by the free-going Lord Larsson, were well beaten off.
