ch g Tobougg (IRE) - Little Tramp (Trempolino)
Mid-division, 12th halfway, good headway after 3 out, went 4th next, smooth progress to lead before last, kept on well, comfortably (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that gelding is frustrating to train and has been running mainly over two miles to date; numerous times he had travelled well but seemed to lack the toe to finish against the two mile horses; he felt he was given a fine patient ride today over 2m 4f in that he crept into the race and finished it out well; he also added he now trains the gelding out of the paddock.)
