Looking ahead
What we learned / things to watch
Ocean Of Dreams finished strongly, and Aint Nobody nearly won. Keep the potential for a strong late challenge in view when reviewing earlier defeats.
Brother Hollie’s result came through interference and an unseated rider. Count the outcome accurately, but keep an interrupted race separate from a clear defeat when assessing what the day tells us.
