Wellforth tops in ‘Grade 3’

FEATURE event at Cork yesterday was the Imperial Call Chase, but this was a Grade 3 in name only after a really pathetic response by trainers.

In a desperately modest four-runner affair victory went to Wellforth, after the contest was handed to him by market-leader, Give Us A Hand.

The favourite was in front at the third last, when making the most minor of errors. His rider, Adam O’Neill, however, could not keep the partnership intact and was unseated.
