b g Windsor Knot (IRE) - Sandra Anne (IRE) (Alflora)
Chased leaders, smooth headway and made challenge 3 out, led approaching last, ridden out run-in, reduced lead towards finish (trainer said, regarding improved form, that the gelding ran well on its first run at Punchestown on March 1st, was unable to handle the very fast ground and undulating track at Clonmel on May 13th and on its most recent run got stuck in the soft ground at Punchestown on May 29th; he felt that today's ground was lovely NH ground and the race was of a poor standard, both of which he contributed to the gelding's success) (op 18/1)
