Hush Tiger close up, mistake 4th, led before 3 out, kept on strongly from last
Rossin Gold pressed leader, effort and disputed lead 2 out, one pace before last
Cybora prominent, effort when awkward 2 out, soon ridden, weakened approaching last
Player led to before 3 out, ridden and weakened after next
La Reserve chased leaders, blundered badly and lost place 2nd, rallied 5th, weakening when blundered 3 out, soon beaten, tailed off when pulled up before last
Rucolino held up in touch, weakened after 4 out, pulled up before next
Apart from a mistake at the fourth, he jumped well, led three out and stayed on well. A 107-rated hurdler with a modest strike-rate, he shapes as though he is going to make up into a better chaser.
Rossin Gold, who had unseated his rider first time over fences, shaped well enough to suggest there is a chase or two in him. He jumped well in the main, and, though the winner proved too strong for him from the second-last, he kept on for second, clear of Cybora, who held every chance, but edged left and found little under pressure.
La Reserve made a couple of bad mistakes, and was pulled up after the second of them.
