Analyis of the race

The chances of MARC OF BRILLIANCE lasting out over this trip were maximized by a superb hold-up ride by Philip Hide. Though beaten in a seller on his previous start, the five-year-old travelled beautifully and after leading at the last held on with little to spare. His trainer Gary Moore said: "He's had plenty of problems and his legs are like glass."

Highland Games put up an encouraging run for his new stable. The recent course-and-distance winner was never moving as easily as the winner, butnevertheless he proved a constant threat and was edging back at him on the run-in.

Tycoon Hall competed on favourable terms, but even with the class drop he was never really in the hunt.
