Darley Seymour Cup (LR)
Bel Thor put up a good effort to win, aided by a very good ride by Tommy Berry. He was slowly away but recovered from his good barrier (2) to settle in seventh place on the rails. He was going well nearing the turn but was blocked until Berry steered him along the rails at the 200m. He then finished too well, winning in good style by a long neck at the post. The favourite, the Darren Weir-trained Our Hand Of Faith was outside the leader in the early stages, eased to travel in fourth spot, between runners, then got a split on turning for home to hit the lead at the 200m only to be run down nearing the post to finish second. The ten-year-old Another Prelate had a good trip being handily placed on the rails, he got through on the inside to challenge at the 200m and then held on quite well for a sound third.
