| 1st | 1 | Geological (IRE) | 11 G | Poor | Damian Joseph English | 140 lbs | 25/1 | Won | Made all - ridden over 2f out - faced challenge inside final furlong - kept on well inside final 110yds (trainer said - regarding improved form - that his yard had been under a cloud for a very long time and his horses had disappointed. He advised that he had not trained a winner since this animal won at Down Royal twelve months ago. In his opinion his charge had lost his confidence but following a general return to form of his runners and the drop in the ratings of Geological from 78 on the day he won last year to 62 today were contributing factors to the improved performance)(op 20/1) | ||
