Noel Meade
Sat close to pace early - went in front 3rd with occasional right-hand drift over fences - extended margin before 11th then ragged at 12th - gap narrowed approaching 2 out - overtaken briefly after that flight - fought back in front before last drifting right again - kept finding through the run-in to prevail
