Newcomer Royal Alphabet quickened in good style inside the final furlong to win after closing to track the leaders three furlongs out. The moderate pace - almost half the field were still in contention approaching the straight - probably suited the winner more than most, but trainer Willie Mullins rates him highly and intends putting him away for the Cheltenham Festival Bumper.
