THE Dennison Commercials four-year-old maiden has produced some smart horses in the past, including last year’s winner Claimantakinforgan, who went on to finish third in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival, and the trend looks to continue as two impressive horses won either division this term.

The Jerry Cosgrave newcomer Battleoverdoyen (3/1 – Evs) indicated that a bright track career awaits when producing an exceptional performance in the opening division under Mark O’Hare, initiating a double for last season’s northern region champion. Carrying the colours of owner Michael Lynch from Maralin, the imposing Doyen gelding looked a picture in the parade ring beforehand and O’Hare was content to hold up his mount in midfield.
