Unaccompanied out on her own
The four-year-old filly, the first animal sent jumping by Moyglare Stud Farm, was given a superb, tactical ride by Paul Townend (returning after a collar-bone scare on Tuesday) to beat the Ruby Walsh-ridden grey by a length and a half. Oscars Well was a creditable third. The winner was receiving 10lb. from her six rivals.
Townend made his move on the home-turn, closing on the outside of Thousand Stars which had to be switched approaching the final flight. He fluffed the last obstacle beforestaying on under pressure, without looking likely to peg back the winner.
