The winner was bought in for 9,000gns.

ANALYSIS: This was run at a strong pace, and THEFLYINGSCOTTIE struggled to handle the early speed. But though he still looks quite a hard ride, the fitting of a visor has evidently had the desired effect and he confirmed the promise of a recent Fakenham second with a hard-earned win. His victory was secured when Positano, just a length down and pressing strongly, blundered his chance away at the last.

Positano, a prolific winner on the Flat in Norway, has proved a flop to date over hurdles, hence this drop to selling company.

Mabel Riley, who finished behind Theflyingscottie at Fakenham last time, saw her momentum stopped when she clouted the second-last, ending any chance she had of getting in a blow.

Mistral de la Cour went off quickly in a first-time visor, taking Pipers Legend with him, and they paid for it in the home straight.
