Only 2 were on their game, the well-backed winner mastering the long-time leader at the second last as they cleared away.

KILLER KANE (IRE) who'd won the novice handicap on this card last year, justified support in taking advantage of having slipped back to his last winning mark, few moments of concern for his supporters in truth in what was an accomplished performance, one that suggests he'll be of interest again next time, too; chased leaders, jumped accurately, travelled fluently, went second 5 out, jumped on 2 out, quickened clear approaching last, comfortably.

JEREMY PASS (IRE) after 4 months off, bounced back to form, though his overall profile suggests he's no good thing to be in the same form next time; led, jumped soundly, headed 2 out, left behind by winner approaching last, pulled clear of rest.

MAJOR DUNDEE (IRE) looked rusty after a further 3 months off, the emphasis too much on speed for him, too (well worth another crack at a marathon trip); soon steadied, outpaced tenth, untidy thirteenth, merely passed beaten horses.

MUMBO JUMBO (IRE) the least exposed of these as a chaser, couldn't match the form of his first 2 starts stepping out of novice company after 3 months off; mid-field, early mistakes, in touch 5 out, one paced from 3 out.

VALSHEDA in first-time cheekpieces but minus the tongue tie worn last time following a breathing operation, again ran below form; close up, untidy sixth, not fluent 4 out, dropped away next.

DOG OF WAR (FR) easy to back, was given a considerate reappearance after 16 months off and really ought to be building on this sooner rather than later; patiently ridden, crept closer after eleventh, in contention briefly end of back straight, faded from 3 out, not knocked about.

DORKING LAD after 11 weeks off, was held up when unseating at the first.
