It was the last race on the seven-race card and with the meeting falling in the Easter Holidays, there was a great family, friendly atmosphere.

Eight runners were declared for the race, which took place on good ground, over a mile.

Bowood was slow out of the stalls, but Ripon specialist, Garden Oasis was quickly into the lead under Jake Dickson.  Broken Spear, ridden by Rhys Elliott ran keenly and Overnight Oats, partnered by Mason Paetel, sat in between the two.  About five lengths covered the field at this early stage.

Rounding the bend, Garden Oasis and Overnight Oats pulled five lengths clear of the field, with On The River and Warren Fentiman heading the rest of the pack.

With three furlongs to travel, they were well strung out, Garden Oasis and Overnight Oats leading the way with On The River in third and Yermanthere, ridden by Tom Kiely-Marshall close behind in fourth.

Approaching two out, Overnight Oats took the lead as the rest of the pack began to close. Dutch Decoy started to get into it with Pisanello, but the line came in time for Overnight Oats to win comfortably by a length from On The River and Pisanello and neck back in third.  Garden Oasis stayed on into a gallant fourth.

The next round takes place at Wetherby on Monday, June 2, which is also their Ladies Evening.
