A good meeting, with a good size crowd for time of year. With two horses following up there win at the course before xmas, in Hidden Heroics (touch 3/1)in the novice riders race winning from the front, with young Harry Neale in the plate running out a convincing winner, and Clonagoose (touch 3/1)winning a competitive restricted field of 9, coming with a well timed run, after winning maiden before xmas, a horse to follow until beaten. The meeting starting with a tussle between clondaw Drake and the winner Minella Jab on the last circuit. In the mixed open the odds on favourite might have been a fortunate winner as coming to the last On Springs was about 4 lengths up with young Dewi Haddock set to have his first winner, when he was unseated, leaving Quinton Man in front, but under a strong Josh Newman drive Beacon Edge got up on the runin, with the last fence admitted in all races, The 11 strong maiden saw only 3 finishers, after there was carnage with 2 horses never making back to there stables, our thoughts with there grooms,and it was left to Will Biddick train Next Gen win under Freddick Philipson-Stow doing 11st, improving from his first run at Dunsmore in November. And the last was won by true point to point family with Bright Aura winning owed and bred by the Trenneer family, trained by Mum Deborah and ridden by son Michael, then had won this race 2 years ago with Do Whatever who ran a good race in the restritced leading most of the way until 2 out.
