Oscar Bay chased leader to 6th, ridden to lead approaching last, edged right flat, ran on well
Pride Of Dulcote held up and behind, headway after 4th, wandered 5th, every chance 2 out, not much room flat, not quicken
Sovereign King held up in touch, led 4 out until approaching last, weakened flat
Loch Vic prominent, went 2nd 6th, led briefly approaching 4 out, weakened 3 out
The Hudnalls held up, headway approaching 4 out, weakened approaching 3 out
Glenary led, jumped right 5th, headed approaching 4 out, weakened approaching 3 out
Gypsy Bob held up and behind, hit 6th, short-lived effort after 7th, tailed off
Scobie Nail always behind, tailed off
Silver Terra prominent to 3rd, tailed off 5th, pulled up before 4 out
Overclear held up in touch, with leaders when reins snapped after 7th, soon pulled up
Thenford Snipe always behind, mistake 6th, tailed off when pulled up before 4 out
Pollensa Bay took keen hold, in touch when blundered and unseated rider 3rd
Delightful Touch in rear, last when fell 4th
Francis Dunstan took keen hold in mid-division, slightly hampered 3rd, some headway when fell 4 out
OSCAR BAY, without the cheekpieces he wore when disappointing connections last time, returned to something like his best as he toughed it out to win in the fashion of an improving type. He could go to Perth for another of these later this month but his real future lies over fencesin the autumn.
Sovereign King had finished in front of the winner last time but had every chance here and maybe not that straightforward.
Loch Vic had his chance but may be better off in handicap company taking into account his mark.
