Not much strength in depth in this beginners' chase which was won from the front by LUCKY DUCK, who had fallen onhis chase debut, but jumped well enough this time and ran on strongly after being left clear at the second last. Considered to be better on good ground, he should progress and can win again.
Show Me The River had the best chase form, but never seemed that happy this time and could never get on terms with the winner. Although this was a below-par effort, he goes on good ground and should find a race.
These four were clear of Hialeah, who stayed on, and Hollows Mist, who ran creditably after a break.
Native Coll dropped away after showing up well to past halfway, while Air Of Affection had worked her way into the race when a bad mistake four out finished her chance.
Lunar Dram sadly fell fatally at the second last when upsides the winner.
