Analyis of the race

A low-grade handicap run at a decent clip would have been won quite decisively by MAGIC BOX had he not made a bad mistake at the last. He was ten lengths clear at the time, but after a good recovery from his rider, he won by less than two lengths. Hecould be better than the bare form as he raced up with the strong pace, goes well on fast ground, but up to now, has been an infrequent winner.

Green Finger, dropping back in trip, and wearing cheekpieces for the first time, was well backed, but he was being pushed along from three out, and though he responded to take second, was flattered by finishing so close to the winner.

Apadi needs an easier track and wasn't disgraced, and will be of interest when he goes back to Cartmel.
