His trainer Caroline Keevil said: "All his point-to-point form was on faster ground but as he's on the slow side, everyone told me to run him on the soft, which was a mistake."
Fairlight Shadow came from out of the wilderness to stay on for second, though arrived far too late to trouble the winner.
Lilac Wine stayed on steadily through the final circuit to get into the frame. This was an encouraging effort on her handicap debut.
Wild Ground took the bull by the horns and tried to make all but after engaging in a tussle with the winner, was soon put in his place. He got tired on the run-in and weakened out of the money.
