He was very good. He was quick and nimble when he needed to be and he was bold when he needed to be. I don’t think I wanted him to be that far forward, but he was enjoying himself and I’m delighted for JP, who is a huge supporter of the industry. I’ve been training for 13 years and to have the support of someone like that helps a lot. This was one of the darts we hoped would run really well this week and it’s nice to see it come off.

THE JACK RICHARDS NOVICES' LIMITED HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 1) (Grade 2) (Registered as The GOLDEN MILLER) (GBB RACE) Permission was given for Wingmen (IRE), and The Bluesman (FR) to wear a red hood to post, and for Regent's Stroll (IRE) to go early to post.
After an initial false start, the start was effected successfully on the second attempt.
However, having reviewed recordings of the false start, the Starters were satisfied that no riders should be reported for contravening the starting procedures.
It was noted that at the fifth fence, Ol Man Dingle (IRE), unplaced, made a bad mistake nearly unseating the rider.
The winner, Meetmebythesea (IRE), appeared to show improved form compared with its previous run at Newbury on 07 February 2026, where the gelding finished last of six runners, beaten by 51¼ lengths.
Ben Pauling explained that Meetmebythesea (IRE) had benefitted from a step up in trip from 2 miles, to 2 miles 4 furlongs, and today's Good, Good to Soft in places ground, compared to the Heavy, Soft in places at Newbury.
His explanation was noted, Meetmebythesea (IRE) was routine tested.
Following the race, Tom Bellamy reported that Moon Rocket (IRE), which was pulled up, was never travelling.
The Veterinary Officer reported that Dr Eggman (FR), unplaced, finished lame on its left- hind leg.
