The veteran Shady McCoy rolled back the years with a first win since 2017 at the grand old age of 10.
The handicapper had given the old man a chance, and he took advantage in good style.
Travelling well in rear, Richard Kingscote made his ground on the inside with two to run.
Hitting the front inside the final furlong, he readily went clear and posted a comfortable win by a length and a half.
