Overview
- Kap Vert, a six-year-old novice chaser, won at 20-1 under Sean Houlihan and earned the £112,000 first prize.
- Pre-race rain left the ground heavy, and only six of 16 completed as Houlihan steered for fresher turf out wide.
- The winner cruised into contention at the fourth-last fence and was not asked for full effort until after the last.
- Git Maker took second, Kim Roque was third, and Isaac Des Obeaux faded to fourth, with Chasingouttheblues and Promontory the other finishers.
- Trained in Somerset by Philip Hobbs and Johnson White for the If The Kap Fits partnership, the lightly raced winner made only his fifth start over fences.
