ANALYSIS:
An open handicap in which plenty could be given chances. There were
traffic problems on the inside despite the use of a false running
rail on the turn.
NAVIASKY is not one to trust, but he had run well at Redcar
on Saturday and picked up well hereto score narrowly from
three-year-old Judge Davidson, who did particularly well from
stall one, coming with a long run from the back of the field on the
wide outside and only just failing to get up after entering the
final furlong in eighth place. While the winner is far from certain
to reproduce the form next time, Judge Davidson is going to make
plenty of appeal granted a decent draw, particularly if stepped up
to a mile.
Last year's winner White Emir looked back to form in third,
having been slightly tightened up, while in-form Ostara ran
another solid race, especially as he appeared to get a crack over
the head from Another Glimpse's rider.
Manicani ran out of room when trying to come up the inside,
as did Millenium Moonbeam. Both would have been closer, but
neither looked like winning.
Mister Clinton did quite well to finish in mid-field from a
poor position, while well handicapped Jedeydd was eased
significantly when beaten and might still be of interest on this
sort of ground in a field he is able to dominate.
