A Hunt Cup that typically contained plenty who are in the grip of the handicapper, but the form among the principals looks strong, a pair of improving 4-y-os, one from each group, filling the first 2 places and chased home by another who is the same age and still quite low mileage; the field split into 2 main groups, those drawn 16-32 coming stand side with those berthed 1-13 going far side - a couple drawn centrally came up the middle - the low-drawn pacesetters overdoing things a bit in the early stages, around 4/5 lengths clear of the bigger group after 2f, something that told late on, Jimi Hendrix the only one from that bunch to finish in the first 11, something that puts an even better spin on his exploits.
