Newmarket-based Wragg reported: "He's a marvellous old boy who is a model of consistency. We've been waiting to get some soft ground for him like today as it's really been too firm for him in some of his other races."

The Whistling Teal was formerly handled by retired trainer Julian Smythe-Osbourne and joined Wragg last year as a handicapper before graduating through the ranks to this Group success.

Winning rider Holland said: "It was a real grind to the line for him but he kept pulling out more for me. Last year I told the owners I thought he could win a Group race and he proved it today."

Not so lucky was Michael Hills, rider of unplaced Kasthari as the stewards found his mount had interfered with Sunny Glenn soon after the start and banned him for four days (November 4-7) as they considered he was guilty of minor irresponsible riding.

The stewards considered Keniry had used his whip with excessive frequency and without time to respond on the winner and banned him for one day (November 4)
