RACE REPORT

Far Day broke quickest and assumed control from Glenshesk and Eastern Princess. With 4 furlongs to run Glenshesk took over and drew steadily clear, winning on the bridle by 4 lengths, with 6 lengths back to Eastern Princess. The disappointing favourite Tetragon could only manage fourth and was never a factor.
