Charlie Swan's 13-8 favourite was not extended to secure his hat-trick, as he tracked the leaders in the early stages of the race, before easing clear between the last two fences and going on to beat Echo Bob by an eased-down five and a half lengths.< Top Spin showed admirable battling qualities to land the Roscommon Maiden.< Speechmaker and Thank Your Stars looked to be ready to pounce on the turn for home, but Fran Berry kept the front-running 5-1 winner up to his work and he ran on well to beat Speechmaker by a neck.
