Montys Tan is getting better now back with his original trainer. The ten-year-old has had his problems but his form two seasons back entitled him to win at this level.
Nod's Star could only slightly better her performances for her new trainer by troubling the judge and could prove difficult to win with.
Apocalozzo's run was riddled with mistakes and the favourite was beaten before the last down the back.
