Go Bang was unopposed for the hurdle race and, ridden by his owner, cantered over the course, taking the jumps la good style. On paper, after the result of the handicap, the half mile race looked a certainty for Parmesan and so it proved, the shapely cream winning in a canter from Tom Tit and the overweighted Basewlad. Mr. Landsle proved successful to the teat pegging competition, and then Mr. Barker's Flatterer, with to yards start, and ridden by Mr. Hough, ran clean away from six opponents in the Ladies Nomination distance handicap over the Worg.ael-chong St-ken course.
