Dollars makes Regency Final but Jason denied

As forecast Blonde Fetch marched into Tuesday's £8,000 Coral Regency final as the dog to beat with an emphatic success in the first sem-final at Hove on Thursday night. Mark Wallis's charge broke well and settled the issue in a matter of strides - going on to score by 3 3/4L. In an uneventful race Rancey Beauty and our Ten Dollars More always held the qualifying positions behind the 41.26 winner.

The second eliminator of this Category One 695-metre stayers' competition promised to be more competitive and so it proved. Pat Rosney's Bower Hawk (5-2) produced another well-timed late run to beat Dean Childs' pairing of Droopys Start and 2009 champion Lorry's Options by one length and half-a-length in 41.39sec. Head Iton Jason, who led to the run-in missed out on a qualifying spot by a short head.

Draw for Tuesday's final (live on SkySports): 1 Droopys Start, 2 Rancey Beauty, 3 Blonde Fletch, 4 Lorrys Options, 5 Ten Dollars More (m), 6 Bower Hawk (m).
