It was a two-horse race, as expected, as the pair set a blistering pace in the two-mile event. Venetia Williams' inmate hit the front three from home and the result nevus looked in doubt from then on as the winner jumped fluently throughout. Tony McCoy tried in vein to reel in Bellator but went down by four lengths. REST OF REVIEW FOR ASCOT MEETING 674 Daily Quiz 685 BHB 691 Race News 661 Missile Istabraq Maguire Powell

"We are all very excited by that as it was a serious gallop," she enthused. "He wastes no energy at all on his jumping and that was terrific today. Blowing Wind kept galloping and made our fellow keep up to his work. "He has always been very good over fences and has a great attitude. I do not see why he can't have another race before going for the Arkle Chase." REST OF REVIEW FOR ASCOT MEETING 674 Daily Quiz 685 BHB 691 Race News 661 Missile Istabraq Maguire Powell
