Libras Child produced a telling turn of foot to emerge from the chasing pack and reel in Serov, who had looked likely to score passing the furlong pole.
He had won a handicap over the minimum trip at Cork in October and, 15lb higher here, destroyed this opposition with something to spare. He could reappear in the Scurry on Sunday with a mandatory 5lb penalty that will leave him with a stone more than when the handicap was originally calculated, owing to a rule change by the handicapper.
