The Harry Fry-trained Metier is more often seen running over hurdles and is a Grade One winner in that arena, taking the Tolworth in January last year on heavy ground.
The gelding carried apprentice Saffie Osborne to the biggest domestic success of her career so far .
It is in the mud that he is happiest and Fry has been plotting a Flat handicap bid for him for some time, but when rain failed to fall his designs on the Chester Cup did not materialise.
There has been plenty of rain in Yorkshire over the past few days, however, and in heavy ground he happily splashed to a straightforward success under Osborne, who recently rode her first Group winner aboard Ed Walker’s Random Harvest at San Siro in Italy.
A 13-2 shot, the six-year-old carried a middling 8st 13lb burden that was eased by his rider’s 3lb claim.
Always competitive, when the race reached the business end Metier’s stamina saw him home and he was eventually triumphant by a length and a quarter.
