refused and unseated rider 1st
chased winner throughout, closed before 5th, not fluent 12th, pecked 4 out and soon outpaced, closed last but no impression
made all, clear 2nd until before 5th, pushed along briefly paddock bend after 9th, clear after 4 out until last, just shaken up and always doing enough
held up in 3rd, closed on 2nd briefly 3 out, well held when mistake last, far from disgraced
Goodgirlteresa is 0-13 under Rules and up against it in this but the other three all have a chance of sorts. THOMAS CAMPBELL is likely to be a warm order, however, after a promising first run over the larger obstacles in what was a decent contest at Newbury. Prime Venture needs to step up on what he’s shown so far over fences while three-times hurdles winner Psychedelic Rock tackles fences for the first time.
