SOUTHERN REGENT, a prolific winner on the Flat in India, confirmed the promise of his debut run over hurdles, though he's not easy to evaluate, for though he shapes as though he needs a stiffer test, he was quite keen earlyon so is not a guaranteed stayer. Moving into second on the home turn after being held up, he was hard ridden between the last two, looked held but ran on again to get up in the last stride. He should win again.
The two were well clear of Chaninbar, who went clear down the far side, but faded from the second last. He has a mark of 121, but didn't appear to run to that.
That'll Do Nicely may prove better in small handicaps after another run.
Dream Catcher, who won an ordinary race here on his previous start, never featured this time.
