made all, clear from 4 out, mistake last, unchallenged
in rear, reminders before 4 out, soon pulled up
soon chased winner, pushed along before 2 out, no impression
tracked leaders, weakened from 4 out, soon tailed off, pulled up before last
held up towards rear and in touch, pushed long before 3 out, in remote 3rd, blundered last
Lucinda Russell trained the winner of this last year and will be hoping from a better run from her three-times point-to-point winner Presenting Rebel after a pipe-opener here last month. But this should be a straightforward task for BALLYBOKER BREEZE, who only found the useful Chidswell too good on his debut under Rules at Ayr - the pair were clear of the others. Damson Gin makes her debut and neither Dundee Blue nor Major Ridge have shown much so far.
