made about all, clear from 7th comfortably
tracked leaders, headway 7th to go 2nd, weakened 3 out
behind, not jumping well
held up, headway after 7th, went 2nd 3 out, always held
with winner until weakened quickly 7th, behind when pulled up before next
With Power Unit, Gimmick and Day Du Roy all looking outclassed, this boils down to a match between No Need For Alarm and Hitman, who returned to winning ways last time. He was ridden more positively at Warwick and he responded with some bold leaps, but with the favourite an early casualty there, that may not have taken much winning. This looks set to go to No Need For Alarm, who was still going well enough at Uttoxeter when getting the second last all wrong. Prior to that she had jumped really well and is taken to regain the winning thread in this.
