The winner of this Premier Steeplechase was Perry Mason that was woefully out of form this season so far and had last won a race, this very race in fact, back in June of 2019. The 11yo jumped to the front in a far from strong field and never looked like being headed winning in the end by over two lengths in 6:11.37. The winners and where they turned for home in race order were led (three-off the inside and a length clear), fourth (four-off the inside and two and a half lengths from the leader), led (six lengths clear centre track), third (trailed inner and length and a half from the leader), fifth (five wide and three and a half lengths from the leader), sixth (on the inside and four lengths from the leader), third (three-off the inside and half a length from the leader), fourth (four-off the inside and length and a half from the leader), third (one-off the inside and two lengths from the leader), fourth (on the inside and two lengths from the leader) and led (three lengths ahead the fence). Perry Mason jumped too well for them in front and led by six lengths turning for home before scoring officially by 2 and a quarter lengths. His time was 6:11.79 when winning this same race fifteen months ago albeit on a Slow7 whereas today was a Dead4. Napoleon ran a game second and was making ground all the way in the run home after reaching fifth then going into third before being left second at the 600m when Des De Jeu slipped and fell on the flat. Delacroix was a very distant third after racing seventh by himself then being left fourth at the 600m by the fall of Des De Jeu that was going easily at the time. He was soon third and held that spot by a massive margin with the only other runner to finish being El Disparo that raced fourth mostly then dropped out the last lap to be beaten over thirty-four lengths. The other five in the race failed to finish with Tai Ho losing its rider at the 400m, Des De Jeu falling on the flat at the 600m and Mandalay losing its rider 1350m from home Zamora was retired from the race 1400m out while Coconut was retired from the race a lap out when detached. This was a poor field and Des De Jeu looked the winner before slipping and falling on the flat 600m out albeit Perry Mason still had a kick left in the tank.
