Jimmy Dean with leader until led over 3f out, headed over 2f out, ridden and weakened over 1f out

An average claimer.

BERTBRAND was dropped to this class for the first time after struggling in handicaps recently and, despite going right in the straight, he always looked the winner from the home turn.

Copperbottomed, who had won a weak seller here last time, confirmed form from that race with Bahamarama but did not look the easiest of rides on this occasion, hanging right on the home turn and then tending to go left under pressure in the straight.
