Race Info

1st - £20,812.00 2nd - £9,568.00 3rd - £4,784.00 4th - £2,392.00 5th - £1,196.00 6th - £596.00

Formscan - Diamond Dealer put his disappointing effort at this venue well behind him when hitting the crossbar at Wetherby and looks sure to play a leading role again. Defence Witness is in good form and first-time blinkers could eke out more, but the vote goes to BRIDGE COURT. Sandy Thompson's charge appreciated the step up in distance to score with ease at Musselburgh last month and even an 8lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side.
