While they took it steady after early jostling for position, this was still a tough test in the conditions so FERIMON making all and drawing clear from the second-last marks him down as a promising staying handicapper in the making.
. He was foundto have a circulatory problem in his foot after wrenching it when sidestepping a fallen rival at Warwick last November but he looks fully back on track here. He did enjoy an uncontested lead for most of the race but looks capable of progressing again.
Denada chased home the winner as he had done at Uttoxeter when the pair were placed last time to suggest he can be found a winning opportunity. He jumped soundly and kept battling away when most had given up.
Just A Splash was never in contention but he plodded on from the home turn to snatch third from Broken Reed, who paid for mixing it with the winner in the last mile. He was still a dozen lengths clear of Just A Splash going to the last but was just walking home.
Highland Chief and Abraham Smith were others who went with the pace but paid for it late, suggesting a drop back in trip will help.
Young Dude was taken wide with conditions deteriorating as the rain lashed down again.
