A terrific finish here with Jaquouille flashing home on the run-in to land the spoils. He is another who will head to Punchestown.
Big Zoomo took them along and fought it out with Royal Blood down the straight.
The pair were locked together heading to the last and looked to have it between them.
Aboo Who had looked held in third from the second last with French Thyne and Jaquouille behind her.
The leaders probably tired slightly on the run-in but there were soon five with chances close home.
Royal Blood just got to the front close home but was cruelly denied on the line.
French Thyne also ran on well from the last in fourth while Aboo Who stayed on to go closer in third before the last and kept on.
Climate Control was easy to back (7/2 to 5/1) and weakened from the fourth last after chasing the leaders. He was eventually pulled up two out.
Green Wellies had attracted support in the morning (12/1 to 6/1) but weakened four out and was tailed off.
