In the colours of the Supreme Racing Syndicate, Kemboy made all of the running and, when safely over the last, he kicked well clear of his rivals to win going away at the line.
He was returned a 9/4 shot with the favourite finishing ahead of Clan Des Obeaux, owned by Alex Ferguson, in second and 20/1 shot Balko Des Flos came in third for trainer Henry De Bromhead.

A winner in the Savills Steeplechase at Leopardstown in December, there was disappointment for Kemboy at last month’s Cheltenham Gold Cup when he unseated jockey David Mullins at the first but this marked an impressive return to form.
Kemboy is back! 🔵⚪️
After a nightmare in the Gold Cup, he's absolutely romped home in the Betway Bowl. 🏆
It was a good day for Irish jockey Rachael Blackmore as Moon Over Germany proved himself a well-handicapped horse when bolting up in the Close Brothers Red Rum Handicap Chase at Aintree for trainer Henry de Bromhead and owner Philip Reynolds.
The race looked in safe keeping a long way from the line, with Moon Over Germany breaking away from the field turning for home, and winning well.
Earlier in the day Kalashnikov defeated favourite La Bague Au Roi to claim the Devenish Manifesto Novices’ Chase for trainer Amy Murphy and jockey Jack Quinlan.
While Pentland Hills followed up glory at Cheltenham in the Triumph Hurdle as Nicky Henderson and Nico de Boinville combined to claim a narrow win in the Doom Bar Anniversary Juvenile Hurdle ahead of Fakir D’oudairies.
