Analyis of the race

Very few got into this race as bumper winner REEL MISSILE opened his account over hurdles. Appreciating the better ground, he jumped well, raced up with the pace and ran on strongly up the straight. He could go for the EBF Final at Sandown next Saturday, where he might be up against it, but he's a decent prospect who can win again over hurdles. He also looks the sort who should do well over fences in due course.

Mistress Banjo ran much better on this good ground and she should win a similar race.

That said, the form may not be anything out of the ordinary as third-placed Mrs Ritchie, who was beaten just over eight lengths, has a mark of 92. However, she probably improved for the step back up in trip and left the impression she'll do even better when tried over further.
