Coming to the final fence Pas Seul was in the lead with Linwell and Lochroe in hot pursuit.
Roddy Owen was in fourth just behind the leaders.
Despite an otherwise flawless jumping performance Pas Seul fell at the last coming down in Linwell's Path.
As a result, he came to a standstill, hampering Lochroe.
Taking full advantage of the others' misfortune, Beasley steered Roddy Owen into the lead and won by three lengths from Linwell.
However Beasley struggled with his drink problem.
As a result, he was let go as stable jockey to Fred Winter who was one of the most successful trainers of the day.
