Analyis of the race

CORLANDE was blinkered for the first time after a poor effort on his recent return to action and the headgear seemed to make all the difference. Sent to the front with a circuit left, he looked likely to be beaten when headed at the third last, but he soon bravely fought his way back to the front and saw it out gamely.

Money Point, back up to a more suitable trip after his good effort behind a subsequent winner at Chepstow earlier this month, looked the likely winner when jumping three out in front, but he could never get away and was worried out of it.

Categorical, over fences for the first time since April but fit from a couple of recent outings on the Flat, looked a threat when moving on to the heels of the leaders on the home bend, but he then lacked the pace to go with the front pair.

Quentin d'Ex, placed over fences in France and making his debut for the yard on this first start since May, was well backed earlier in the day but he made too many jumping errors and had shot his bolt by the home turn. He was reportedto have returned injured.
