Analyis of the race

A 0-100 novice handicap in which the top weight was rated 95. GOLDEN SNOOPY, who has a history of leg problems, was 2lb out of the handicap, but came from off the pace to lead at the second-last, and though he edged left, he was driven out to break his maiden at the 13th attempt. The form may not amount to a great deal.

Isaac Newton, who won a seller on the course last time, was off the bridle a fair way out, but he stuck on pretty well.

These three finished clear of The Hedge, who dropped away in the straight, while Royal Game was too keen.
