Analyis of the race

The early pace was not particularly fast, but it gradually increased and the winner was given an enterprising ride to win decisively against the stands' rail.

MULTAHAB bounded away from his rivals after being manoeuvred to the near side and managed to reverse recent form with Pic Up Sticks. The veteran seems suited by being bought wide and racing alone, a tactic that has been successfully executed at this track before. He could be hit hard for this win, though, and will find things more difficult in future.

Pic Up Sticks did not really get the strong pace that suits but still ran really well.He may be able to capitalise on a career-low mark when faced with a slightly stiffer test this autumn.

This OnesFor Eddy was short of room at a crucial stage but finished well and gave the impression that 6f could be his optimum trip.

Smiddy Hill lost her chance when badly hampered against the far rail early in the straight.
