Pyramid won the 1m3f maiden at Southwell on Standard going at 4/9 favourite. The horse set the pace before being headed 2f out, drifted markedly left under pressure inside the final two furlongs, then fought back to get up on the line. Liam Mera Kai settled just behind the pace, moved into second with a mile to run, went on 2f out and looked likely to win before drifting left and being caught in the final strides, going down by a nose. Kashooda finished third.
