Placed again - but a nice run and a TQ 1-2 in the race! Original quote: "GORES ISLAND has not won for a while because he kept running well with honesty and for that he paid the price. Dropped in grade now but off a massive weight which is unfortunate and will make it again very tough for him. William Clarke takes off 10lb which is vital or I would not have run the horse. Hopefully the ground conditions will not deteriorate and it would be fantastic to see the horse get his head in front but I will be happy if I can see GORES ISLAND competitive at the end and at least run into a place"
