JAMIE OSBORNE: 'My horse made a mistake four out but the petrol was just beginning to run out anyway'

PAUL CARBERRY: 'A good few horses fell in front of me, but every time I managed to miss them'

CHRIS BONNER: 'He was outpaced all the way but we both enjoyed every minute of it'

17th Evangelica 33-1
