ANALYSIS: This was dominated by CELESTIAL WAVE who was soon ten to twelve lengths clear. She kicked on again after the second last and won in great style.

Trainer Adrian Maguire said: "The way she moves you think that good ground would not be a problem for her but (when asked about Cheltenham) I'll try not to jump the gun with her."

There was nine lengths back to Brogella who has some useful form and tracked the winner almost throughout.

Mrs Wallensky was another ten lengths back third after tracking the runner-up. Her last two runs have been over fences but she may be able to win again over hurdles.

Molly Massini was another eight lengths away. She is rated 9lb behind Mrs Wallensky and was receiving 3lb.

Princess Commanche raced in third early on and briefly moved into second before three out before weakening. She has a handicap rating of only 98 so she could not have been expected to finish much closer.
