Virgin Bet Supporting Amateur Jockeys' Handicap

Stake: $16,236

THRONE HALL (3) is taken to deliver a victory switching to the flat following a 24L last of eight hurdling at Catterick.

GLASSES UP (5) has been off the track since finishing 11L last of eight attempting a 1600m handicap here in November. Shortlist.
