Analyis of the race

Probably just an ordinary bumper, but RUSSIAN WAR had won a point-to-point and was also a promising fourth in a big field at Tipperary on his bumper debut. He travelled best, but took a somewhat wayward course in the straight, hanging markedly left, but eventually staying on well.

Presenting Bobo had been a shade disappointing on his two previous starts, but shaped better this time, though he also hung.
