So close! Yes I’m Mali produced another career-best effort at Thirsk this afternoon, agonisingly edged out in a photo finish.

It’s been a superb season for his owners so far - and there’s plenty more to come, with Ayr’s Gold Cup meeting firmly in sight.

A smashing run from Red Mirage, who looked all over the winner before being touched off in a desperate finish.

He’s been a great stalwart, and hopefully he’ll have one more run before a well-earned retirement.
