Monbeg Worldwide a third winner for Elliott Monbeg Worldwide justified 1/4 favouritism in Cork's bumper but not without a scare. Luke McGuinness sent him into the lead from flagfall. However, he was ridden in the final quarter of a mile and then headed by Quick Grabim (7/1) a furlong and a half down. Monbeg Worldwide picked up really well, though, in the final 150 yards to win by half a length from the tenacious runner-up. This was Gordon Elliott's third winner of the day - the other two came in Punchestown. Assistant trainer Olly Murphy said: "He's a lovely horse for the future and he'll want a trip. I'm not sure if we will see him much more before he goes jumping hurdles next year. "He's a fair horse but he wants a truly run race." Additional reporting by Alan Magee
