Air Force One put on a bold show of jumping to make all for a comprehensive victory.

The race was over when Noel Fehily sent his mount clear three out and he powered away from his rivals.

The only fence he did get close to was the second last but it failed to halt his momentum and he stretched away again for a wide margin success.

Trainer Charlie Mann feels the gelding didn't show his form at Cheltenham as he didn't jump out of the dead ground in the SunAlliance.

He came here on the back of a confidence-boosting win in a moderate contest at Market Rasen.

He looks a classy prospect but as with all novices next year will be the acid test of his ability.

Pomme Tiepy had been impressive when racking up a four-timer during the winter in testing conditions before a fall at Cheltenham.

She couldn't live with the winner here, however. Tracking him throughout she had no answer when he quickened and kept on at the one pace down the straight.

The finished much as they start with Ballycullen Boy, keeping on again to finish third.

He had dropped to the rear three out as the race unfolded but stayed on down the straight.

Sky's The Limit was waited with. He made a move three out but could never get near the leader and was a moderate third turning in before weakening.

Finger Onthe Pulse was the first to be asked a question and was gone from the third last.
