Explode won the Race Against Waste Maiden Hurdle at Newton Abbot, beating Crystal Mariner by three-quarters of a length with John Galt in third. The 5/6 favourite tracked the pace near the front, was asked to go on approaching the final flight and then held off the runner-up to score on good ground. Crystal Mariner was slowly away and settled towards the rear before making headway to join the leaders after the first hurdle; he was pushed alongside the winner at the second last, stayed on strongly but stumbled at the final flight and lost momentum, after which he could not get back on terms.
