Result
Nico de Boinville
Nicky Henderson
Set the pace from the off - clean over most fences but scrappy at the 12th and 15th - asked for effort into the home turn - two lengths clear approaching the last - driven out and kept going up the run-in - held a comfortable margin throughout without being seriously tested
Sean Bowen
Olly Murphy
Settled in behind early - made ground wide 3 out and moved into second before clipping the fence - trailed by two lengths at the last - driven out and kept battling to the finish but narrowly denied
Jonjo O'Neill Jr
Jonjo & A J O'Neill

Jack G Gilligan
Paul John Gilligan
Settled just behind the leading pair - moved into 2nd three out - lost the advantage after that - dropped away approaching the finish - finished 4th
