Analyis of the race

The ground was just on the fast side of good. This was an ordinary mares' maiden hurdle run at no more than a fair gallop. PRESENT, who had run a solid race when second at Uttoxeter on her previous start, made ground from three out to lead going to the last, and was driven out to score. She's rated 91, is fairly exposed, but has seemed suited by the step up to 2m4f.

Za Beau may find a race. She came there with every chance at the last, but was outpaced after it. The Irish raider Missgoodytwoshoes has been costly to follow, and was a beaten favourite for the eighth time in ten starts. She raced in touch, was ridden from two out and couldn't quicken. Easier ground might suit her better, but with her record she hardly inspires as a betting proposition, particularly at short odds.

*Tom O'Brien reported that Overland finished lame.
