While his runner La Petite Coco managed a nice win in the race, Peter Twomey was more concerned about Rosscarberry.

There seems to have been a bit of confusion pre-race with Twomey having to get two saddles and the Clerk of the Course telling Wayne Lordon he was 5 lbs too heavy so there was a lot of juggling around with saddle weights and then Lordon was told he was OK and off he went to ride on Rosscarberry whee they finished third behind stablemate La Petite Coco and My Astra.

Cut to the weighing room where Lordon was told he was weighing in 5lbs too light!!!!! And he gets DQd as a result.  Twomey is going to appeal this so watch this space!

The Airlie saw a nice winner for Aidan with Statuette – she's a big girl and Aidan didn't want to do too much with her but as he said after "she has a beautiful mind, a great stride and a superb physique".  Second home was Badb 25/1 and then Matilda Picotte got her nose in front of Zarinsk to take fourth.
