2nd	3	—	Girls Best Friend (G) Made a winning start in this sphere at Uttoxeter in November and backed it up with a good second at Market Rasen. Produced a laboured effort at Ffos Las since but that was on heavy ground. Worth anot…	P5-1252	Charlie Deutsch Miss V Williams	7	72.6kg	6 5/1
—	4	—	Tech That (G) Pulled Up Maiden with just one decent effort over hurdles this season. Goes up in trip now chasing (runner-up sole start in Irish points).	684PP-5	Finn Lambert R T Phillips	7	71.7kg	15 14/1
