Kept off the pace for most of the three-and-three-quarter-mile stamina test, Charlie Deutsch brought him into contention at the business end of proceedings.
He jumped the final fence in front and galloped strongly up the hill to hold his stable companion Urgent De Gregaine by four and a half lengths.
Richard Hobson’s Chic Name was the first of the home contingent in third spot, two and three-quarter lengths away.
Diesel D’Allier was given a quote of 16/1 for the Cross-Country Chase at the Festival with both Betfair and Paddy Power.
