A couple of breathing ops persuaded connections to ease this game mare into thelowest grade and despite her 117-day break, she added a third win over hurdles, aided by a tumbling mark.
Gatecrasher looked the likelier winner two out but this lightly raced youngster was just outbattled up the run-in. Another top-of-the-ground performer, he looks to have been handicapped fairly and is progressing towards a selling win off this lowly mark.
Such A Manwas dropping in class and had cheekpieces added but could not take advantage. He had every chance up the straight but folded from the last.
Killonemoonlight, a modest pointer, could never land a blow but she plugged on up the straight to suggest astaying selling hurdle might fall her way.
