Ahead of the feature race of the day, all the pundits were tipping the encounter to be a dual between four-time winner Big Buck's and Annie Power (11/8), who headed into the race unbeaten on 10 starts.

Reve de Sivola led the way after the first, with Big Buck's in fourth and Walsh settling with Annie Power as they reached the back straight after the second.

On the final turn, Big Buck's began to slip behind the pack, leaving Annie Power to fight it out with More Of That (15/2), but Barry Geraghty crossed the finish line with the latter by a length, while At Fishers Cross (9/1), ridden my AP McCoy, finished third.
