Analyis of the race

This was a long way to go for some modest types, especially in the soft ground. There was drama down the back straight on their final circuit, as Minella Tipperary fell after appearing to overjump the 14th . Fine By Me and Freeline Fury both departed at the same fence but fell independently. Topless was the only unlucky one as she had nowhere to go and tripped over one of the prone horses.

NEW PERK, who was back down to his last winning handicap mark, stays really well and kept on strongly once left in front with the second. He did it really nicely but did not achieve a great deal for obvious reasons, although it did provide the jockey with his first win over fences.

Pan The Man has a decent record over 2m4f, so this trip was always going to test his stamina reserves to the limit. He was one of only three left after the melee but was a long way behind.
