GRAPEVINE SALLY had been taking on mares only lately but she showed the geldings in no uncertain terms the way to do it here. In front away from two out, the daughter of Saddlers? Hall used a smart turn of foot to quickly settle the issue, eight lengths being the margin of victory at the line.

At least 4/1 this morning and 3/1 into 11/4 on track, successful trainer Edward O?Grady said, ?I?m delighted to have a winner. She comes from my own old family and she?ll make a nice broodmare for Mrs Wallace (the owner). Hopefully she?ll win more races before then.?

Favourite, ORGE D?ETE was very slow at the first (he had unseated on his chase debut), but the grey was good afterwards. Left in front six out, he was headed three out and couldn?t live with the winner from the next. He has a hurdle mark of 119 and this experience should not be lost on him.

Easy-to-back, CASTLEVIEW MILLS, gave a reasonable showing on his Rules debut. DREAM CHAMPION, showed enough on chase outing number two to give the impression that there will be better days ahead as the ground improves. Stablemate TOP THE CHARTS was easy in the market and ran accordingly. Of course he would prefer better ground. LANNIGANS LOCK ran well after being hampered six out and making a mistake at the last. FIRST CHAMP, GOLDEN TRIGGER and KING TROY all had their chances when departing two out.
