In a race where few got into it, Space Traveller came flying from the rear and had just enough in the tank to see off the hot favourite and deny Godolphin a double.

James Doyle had to wait for a gap on the runner-up and in the end that may have cost him, with the margin of victory only a head.

Angel’s Hideaway (14-1) was bang there once again in third as Urban Icon (7-1) boxed on for fourth.

A delighted Danny Tudhope was riding his fourth winner of the week after victories aboard Lord Glitters, Move Swiftly and Addeybb.

He said: “He’s quite a consistent horse and he has a tremendous amount of ability.

“I’m glad he’s done it as today is the biggest day.

“It’s been an amazing week for me.”
