Braddock s recent form figures for the 3.15 were unimpressive and Bolt Up s credentials thirty five minutes later weren't too obvious either as his career to date was summed up with 000-0.

However Pat Flynn's gelding put his best hoof forward to live up to his name, beating fellow 10/1 chance, Yodollah by eight lengths. Danny Grant was the rider sporting the winning silks, those of Gavin Kinch, who saw his mare Maibet land two bumpers last year.

"He surprised me and I'm delighted that he has got a win, he should stay a bit further," commented Flynn, who also expressed his happiness with Alannahbeckaaoibhe who finished fourth.
