Analyis of the race

Only four completed with KILCREA ASLA proving too tough a nut to crack for Star Of Germany, who was attempting to make it a hat-trick of recent wins. The winner had proved no match for Alfreds Tower at Towcester last time but was back up in trip hereand that may be the key to him. He may well be up to winning again on this evidence.

Star Of Germany had won a seller at Fontwell before winning again here earlier this month. However he was 21lb higher here and that did not help his cause but he still beat the others fair and square.

Saby is very well exposed.
