The 2/1 favourite Whisky On The Hill finished best to land the three-year-old handicap over 1m2f, following up last month's course and distance victory.

Pushed along in third turning for home, once Ronan Whelan got the Ribchester gelding balanced and running in the straight he stayed on strongly to beat Tea Olive and Picture Of A City by half a length and the same with the first three finishing well clear of the remainder.

Winning trainer Ado McGuiness said: "He was caught a little flat-footed turning in but 1m2f is probably his minimum trip and I know he wants further.

"We haven't schooled him yet but I do think he'll make into a right good hurdle horse and he wants softer ground as well.

"He's improving all the time. We'll probably stay West with him and aim him for Galway after this.

"Ronan said he knew 100 yards out that he had them and he said he did it snug enough in the end."
