A typically weak conditional jockeys' hurdle, with few of these obviously in the form to win a handicap, and ROSSIN GOLD probably did not need to improve much to win off bottom weight, leading before the last to score ridden out. He is starting life in handicap hurdles at the right end of the weights and ought to continue to give a good account at this level, granted give in the ground.

Manolo confirmed the rejuvenating effect of a change of stable by following up his Taunton second with another decent effort, leading after two out until the last and keeping on to come clear of the rest.

Irish raider Deramore Rythm did not seem to get home in the conditions, leading after three out until after the next but well held by the first two - his best efforts in Ireland have been on a sound surface.

The remainder were well held, with recent Sedgefield winner Red Man disappointing.
