In a race which saw four of the six runner field separated by less than four lengths at the final fence, C'Est Ta Chance who travelled notably well into the latter stages of this contest and led with a good jump two out, held on late to withstand the persistent effort of the runner-up Desert Ian in the straight. It's now likely the French Bred winner will head on to the Tattersalls Cheltenham sale.
