Some Kinda Lama (6/4), Lough Derg Farmer (2/1), Like The Sound (9/2), Pauls Hill (5/1)
An intriguing contest, with SOME KINDA LAMA taken to beat former stable-companion Like The Sound. The former went the wrong way when last put over fences, but hasn't been with Olly Murphy long, and went down fighting on his return. Like The Sound has been off for a long time, but would surely not be sent on such a long journey if he wasn't ready, and he's preferred to Pauls Hill for minor money.
