| b g Oscar (IRE) - Reluctant Scholar (IRE) (Buckskin) | ||||||||||
| Soon towards rear, progress to chase leaders 3 out, moderate 3rd approaching next where left closer in 2nd, gained narrow lead travelling best approaching straight, sent on to assert for easy win inside final furlong (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that this ten year old has competed successfully in the past and has been mixing it over hurdles and chases recently; he said he was not able to pinpoint any particular reason why his charge disappointed over fences at Roscommon other than the fact that the horse was fitted with a tongue strap for the first time that day; he added that the horse then returned to action over hurdles at Bellewstown and ran a very good race with the tongue strap retained; he said that the fancied runners in today's race failed to complete for one reason or another and his charge kept galloping on at the finish to beat lesser opposition.)
