gr g Dylan Thomas (IRE) - Dalataya (IRE) (Sadler's Wells)
Tracked leader in 2nd, led 4 out, going well before next and pushed clear 2 out, stayed on well from last, comfortably (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that gelding ran a very good race at Leopardstown last time out, but that it hit the 2nd last hurdle very hard and landed awkwardly, while it was also far from fluent at the final hurdle; jockey said he employed a change of tactics and raced it more prominently; both trainer and jockey said that they felt form book did not clearly reflect exactly what happened at the final two hurdles) (op 33/1)
