Gore Point won the Philip Wilson Memorial Novices' Limited Handicap Steeple Chase at Newton Abbot, beating Ice Jet by five lengths with Cobbler's Boy in third. The 13/8 favourite settled just off the pace early before moving into contention at the eighth fence, taking second three out and hitting the front at the second last before pulling clear on the run to the line. Ice Jet tracked the leaders from close range, joined the leaders at the eighth and briefly went in front approaching three out, but made a mistake at that fence, lost the lead two out and was edged out for second after the last. The race was run on good to firm ground.
