Analyis of the race

An interesting novice, won convincingly from the front by SEYMOUR WELD. He was only a plater over hurdles, but had already shown himself better class over fences when making all here a fortnight ago. He again stole a handy lead at the start this time, and his bold jumping kept his pursuers on the stretch throughout. He is going to find things harder when he has to go handicapping, but for now, he should continue to prosper.

Zilcash, the best of the field over hurdles, was bidding to make it three wins from three runs over fences, but an early mistake did not help his chances and he was struggling to get to the leader from a long way out.

Chrysander looked to be travelling a bit better than Zilcash when he came down and would probably have finished second had he completed.
