2 8 ENDEARED (H161) B Avdulla XB/P2 Jumped fairly, taken across behind runners and raced as the back-marker in first half of the race, driven 350M, ran on well to go 2nd near line but always held by winner.
3 9 NEW FOREST (K094) L Hewitson TT From draw 11 driven forward crossing to the lead 1400M, set steady pace to straight, kicked clear 300M, caught by winner 150M before losing 2nd late. Well clear from remainders.
