He was ridden from two furlongs out and soon disputed just prevailing on the line by a nose.

The Tom Hogan trained Gordon Lord Byron (7/2) kept on well under Joseph O’Brien but he couldn’t get past the winner and had to settle for second. Hamza was sent off the 3/1 favourite and he finished a further length back in third under Fran Berry for Kevin Ryan.

Colm O’Donoghue said afterwards: "In fairness he was due a good one, he has been consistent throughout the years and he was tough today.

"I didn't think I was up and I said well done to Joseph."

David Marnane wasn’t present for the win as he is in York.
