Analyis of the race

A modest staying handicap, with the field having previously managed just one win from 26 races between them this year. But ABSTRACT FOLLY had shaped encouragingly here five weeks earlier - when reckoned 'not quite right' by his trainer - and confirmed himself back in form, always to the fore and leading 2f out. This was the highest mark he has ever won off and he will be going up again now but he is clearly in decent heart.

Rose Bien had generally been running over longer trips and will do as well when returned to further - he was ridden 4f out and though he went second inside the final 1f he could not reel in the winner.
