Tony Martin's charge was under pressure entering the final bend but began to stay on and was on terms at the last in Cheltenham's unique test. The winner popped it well but Linden's Lotto nodded on landing and had little chance of recovering the lost ground. Eight lengths separated them at the line with Linton Rocks held in third.

"Wj rode him a little differently today and hj settled so much better - hj gave mj a superb ride. "I hit the front earlier than I wanted really but he took off and won it so well didn't he?"
