Under pressure and seemingly in trouble early in the straight, the winner responded to his pilot's urgings to quickly set his seal on the race, and did well to cope with ground his trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies feels is much too testing for him. It comes as no surprise that connections think he's Cheltenham class.
Sula's Legend hails from a yard which does not specialise in bumper horses but he did enough here to show he can soon win a race.
Ice Melted was a springer in the market but was being ridden early in the straight and found nothing.
