THE latter part of the afternoon belonged to Colin Tizzard, who won the Sky Bet Hurdle with Elixir De Nutz, 5/1.

Tizzard also saddled the winner of the listed bumper, 3/1 chance Master Debonair.

Elixir De Nutz made all for Harry Cobden and was stepping up on his second at the last meeting.

James Bowen was at his strongest on Master Debonair, just holding Thyme Hill and Richard Johnson by a neck.
