Andrew Nick ran a satisfactory first race over fences, and would have given the winner more to do had he not made a bad mistake four from home. Although he recovered, he basically lost his chance and could only keep on for second.
Essifer, having his second run in two days, was a decent fourth, these four finishing well clear of the remainder.
Valiant Shadow didn't jump at all well and ran poorly.
