 Wun Chai had not shown much in her two previous starts over hurdles, but there were excuses for each defeat - a lost shoe first time, unsuitable soft ground the next time - and he showed what he was made of here.
Admittedly he had the run of the race, with the favourite Allude meeting trouble at a crucial stage, but it would be wrong to dismiss the win as a fluke and he could do even better when he goes left handed, as he was inclined to jump left here. Trainer Frank Jordan said: "He's a nice horse and wants this good ground."
