The bang in-form North Yorkshire trainer Phil Kirby has only ever saddled one previous runner over jumps at Lingfield Park (1-10 on the Flat) so we should take the hint about the well-handicapped Ayr scorer EPSOM DES MOTTES. Very well supported in the market he soon had his six rivals under the sword courtesy of a competent Danny McMenamin ride. Impossible to oppose carrying no extra weight for that taking 14L success (race was for conditional jockeys') those playing for places are limited to High Up In The Air, Bact To Black and Auenwirbel.
