 A second Flat win to go with four successes over hurdles and two over fences for Back On Top who was meeting some other jumpers in the race on quite favourable terms.
Never far off the leaders, he was switched off the rail to the front early in the straight and had to dig deep in the closing stages to hold the challenge of Blue Away. The winner is likely to revert to fences at the Galway Festival with the Plate a possible target.
