Analyis of the race

A low-grade affair, as one would expect given the ratings band. LOOKS THE BUSINESS has been in good form without winning, and he travelled well this time before leading pretty much on the bridle.

Colophony, who won over 1m2f in his youth, is very lightly raced and had not run for more than seven months. He came from a fair way back to run his best race yet on the AW, but he did not look one to have maximum faith in.

Greenwich Village is only ordinary and was just one-paced when it mattered.

A couple of places further back top-weight Jafaru was possibly unlucky, for he was trapped on the inner with nowhere to go from around 3f out until into the straight, then stayed on when he got into the clear.
