Dermot Weld’s filly powered clear for Chris Hayes, giving the runner-up little hope of staging a fightback.

A 13-2 chance, Ezeliya ended her handler’s 43-year wait for a second win in the race – but she broke new ground for Hayes.

The 36-year-old stood up in his irons to celebrate his British classic first on the Aga Khanowned horse.
