1 5 HORACE'S CHOICE (CH169) B Prebble B/H/TT Assumed ideal trail on rails 3Ls off lead, didn't use any reserves with steady pace in mid-section, angled out on turning, closed too well final 200 M to score a handy victory.

5 3 IRISH JIG (CJ125) W C Marwing TT Unable to slot in from an awkward gate, posted 3 wide without cover 4Ls back, improved 5 wide on bend, kept to task and closed creditably late given workload.
