Pipe was welcoming his second winner of the day following Buena Vista’s success in the Pertemps Final - the double paid 322-1.
Cook, a conditional jockey who claims a 3lb allowance and works at Pipe’s yard, scored in the colours of owner David Johnson, who was also represented by Chapoturgeon (7th) and Our Vic (14th).
Cook said: “He jumped and travelled so well I was just a passenger. I had him in the right positions and when he made his mind up he wanted to go on I didn’t want to disappoint him.
“He’s always been a well-balanced horse and his jumping was very good. It’s been very nice of Mr Johnson and David to give me such good rides. The horses have to be well trained at home and ready for this experience on the racetrack so it’s all down to the whole team at Pond House.
“Last year I had a second and fourth at the Festival, and I have been watching all the other lads riding winners and hoping my turn would come.”
Pipe said: “Danny’s given him a great ride - he won on him at Towcester and is very good for his 3lb claim. They went a good gallop and I was little concerned about the trip because he does stay further, but it’s another Festival winner for the yard.
“We entered him in the Jewson, but he missed the cut yesterday and so credit to Gail Harrison our secretary in the office who swapped the horse and put him in this race. We did consider putting Danny on Our Vic, and when I asked him which he would ride if given the choice he was adamant he would prefer to be on the less-exposed Great Endeavour.”

FROM DAWN TO DUSK ONE MISTAKE AWAY?
From Dawn To Dusk almost supplied trainer Philip Hobbs with his third victory at this year’s Festival. After making a bad mistake, he recovered to finish third to Great Endeavour in the Byrne Group Plate Handicap Chase.
Sarah Hobb’s, the trainer’s wife, when asked if it was one mistake away from a victory, said: “Yes.”
“But we are absolutely thrilled. If he hadn’t made a mistake, you just don’t know. But he has run a blinder.
“Hopefully we’ll find a race at Aintree for him, but it’s has got to be good ground,” she added.
Mister McGoldrick, making his 85th racecourse appearance and his sixth at The Festival, ran a blinder. At the business end of the affairs for the entire race, the 13-year-old only flagged in the final few furlongs, finishing fourth at 33/1.
“He does particularly love it round here and he never does run a bad race, does he, unless there’s something wrong,” said his trainer Sue Smith.
“Throughout his life, he just gives you everything he’s got. He’s a super horse and I thought Jason [Maguire] gave him a superb ride today. At 13, it’s amazing. I wish I had as much energy as him,” she added.
J P McManus, owner of the second-place horse Sunnyhillboy, was succinct. “I think we were beaten by a better horse, no ifs and no buts. It’s as simple as that,” he said.
