Analyis of the race

Although this was a 0-130 handicap, the top weight was rated 117. NOISETINE has form on soft ground but is probably better on a quicker surface. She jumped well in a race run at a fair pace and, having been sent clear three out, she stayed on strongly and never looked like being caught. She had seemed pretty exposed, but she was 9lb above her previous highest winning mark, so she is progressing.

Gatorade is consistent, but though he ran on, he never looked like getting to the winner.

Captains Table ideally needs faster ground, while Sound Of Cheers jumped well but faded after making much of the running and Garde Bien, who took a good hold, is probably better at two miles.
