Race Report
the rank outsider Frisby Full was first from the traps and led the two Irish runners Chart King and Deerfield Sunset until the third bend. Chart King and Deerfield Sunset then drew alongside with the former getting the room at the bend and going on to win by just over a length from Frisby Full with Deerfield Sunset finishing third. Pottos Storm finished a creditable fifth, a good achievement for a greyhound associated with hurdling, he had won the 1999 Grand National. Pure Patches was knocked over and finished last.
