The gelding was a 33/1 shot for the big handicap chase but was given a confident ride from the front by Sean Bowen.

The duo built up a commanding lead and kept up their advantage on the close-knit pack with several huge leaps.

The nine-year-old was challenged by recent Paddy Power second Vincenzo (7/2) two out but saw him off with a better jump at the last.
