Newcomer The Busy Fool upset better fancied rivals in the bumper when scoring at 28/1 in the hands of Phidelma Elvin. 

Pushed along in fifth turning for home, the Doyen gelding was green when ridden into contention but kept picking up and led in the final fifty yards to beat 11/5 favourite The Enabler by two lengths. 

Winning trainer Philip Rothwell was not present and Elvin said: "That was unbelievable and the owners (Seamus Carthy and Tony Murray, from Ballinasloe) have been so patient. Philip bought him at the sales, we've liked him but is a fine big horse who needed time. The owners were willing to give him that time and it has paid off.

"He showed a little bit galloping on grass at home and all credit goes to Marie who rides him out at home and has done the majority of work with him. He is only going to improve from today.

"I'm in Philip's every day, I'm there three years now and he is so good to me."
