b g Captain Rio - Sandy Fitzgerald (IRE) (Last Tycoon)
Prominent, led after 4th, clear 2 out, stayed on well, comfortably (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that gelding was returning from a near one year layoff last time; as the gelding was a sprint winner over 6f, it was felt that it should be held up on that day in order it would see out the trip; however, it jumped very novicey and never improved its position towards the rear; today, on the advice of the jockey, it was ridden more forcefully on beautiful ground and jumped considerably better.)
