Earlier JP McManus saw one of his eight runners, Henry Higgins, win the Coral.ie Hurdle. Trained by Charles O’Brien, the six-year-old came in at 16-1 thanks to a late surge past Bentelimar, who led going into the final straight. Desoto County took third.
“He travelled super the whole way,” said Jockey Robbie Power said. “We didn’t go a mad gallop but he’s got loads of gears. He’s got loads of pace — he barely gets two miles.”
O’Brien may now target the County Hurdle at Cheltenham, which is named after his father Vincent.
