2M 5F     7 runners
Jockey: Nick Schofield      Trainer:  Mrs L Hill
Weight:  11-2
Finished:  5th

After a winning bumper debut and a follow-up 2nd, this was Rude & Crude's debut over the sticks and he has still to run anywhere but Plumpton. Led from the start and looked terrific for 2 circuits. But coming round the bend at the railway turn with 3 furlongs to go, he came under pressure and there was nothing in the tank. Ended up 5th but will come on for the run.
