Comments in running

A proper race, contested by proper steeplechasers and run at a proper pace from the outset. Plenty of credit should be handed to OLLIE MAGERN, and also to his trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies for getting him so fit and healthy first time out after eight months off. Connections must have been confident of his fitness because Carl Llewellyn quickly had him at the head of affairs, denying Grey Abbey of his usual front-running role. Although he took one or two chancey leaps, Ollie Magern was quick across his fences and he never looked likely to stop galloping. Sticking to his guns in terrific style in the final straight, when strongly pressed, he saw his race out in willing fashion. He now goes for the Betfair Chase, setting-up a tantalising clash with Kicking Kick and Best Mate. In the meantime, his odds have been slashed for the Gold Cup, which he was forced to miss last year after incurring an injury, to around 12-1 and even less with some firms. It should be remembered that he was giving 5lb to both the second and third. Kingscliff, runner-up to Kicking King in last season's King George, made a most satisfactory return to action. He had a chance of winning all the way up the straight, but could never quite reel-in the winner. A horse, who has had little racing in the last couple of years, he can surely improve as a result of this outing and he promises to prove a formidable rival wherever he appears. Take The Stand, last season's Gold Cup runner-up, ran a blinder on ground slower than ideal for him. His jumping wasn't too fluent at times, but he showed what a big engine he possesses by continually coming back on the bridle and it was only the final battle from the third-last which caught him out. He is capable of winning a major prize when things fall his way.
