Nine thoroughbreds went to post, which is quite a kind number for each-way betting purposes.

Making the frame in 3rd (6pts) is buddy with his anagram: show me the DOUGH BROTHER!

In 2nd (8pts) is paulH with some ingenious Derby wordplay.

But in 1st, all out and prevailing by a nose (9pts), it's hats off and a tremendous reception to paul for:

He is an aristocrat, despite having had a difficult upbringing (12)

Rough bred he ain't.

Well done paul.

I'll post some prizes separately in due course (I'm on a beach with a phone and without tech savvy).

Prize 1/3

Well done, Paul. Thanks, Bacchanal.

Many thanks to Mattrom, Tyke51, Geeker, Jono, and Paul for the most welcome votes.
