Interesting BHA reports The performance of FUSIL RAFFLES (FR), which started favourite and was pulled up before the second last fence, was considered. The representative of Nicky Henderson’s explanation that the gelding was unsuited by the going, which was officially described as Good to Soft on this occasion, but was changed to Soft after this race and therefore would prefer a faster surface, was noted. FUSIL RAFFLES (FR) was routine tested.
Trainer indicating it likes faster surfaces.
