The Ricky Holloway trained came home nine clear of Mystical Charlie and Danoel. The other qualifier went to Hurdler of the Year Ballymac Manix in 29.49.
Fastest on the flat was Alfie Herbert’s Fweshfromthesesh (David Bale-Lissivigeen Joy, Jul 15) with a six and a half length win in 28.62. The other qualifier went to Crossfield Hugo in 28.76.
