After a string of good efforts from Dave he eventually shed his maiden tag under a never say die ride from Jimmy at Southwell.

“BROTHER DAVE had been threatening a win and things clicked for him, coming from the rear in a race run at a good pace for the grade. His tendency to fluff the start means he’ll always need luck but he won’t go up much for this and can remain competitive in low-grade handicaps.”
