TEAHUPOO denied the late charge of Ballyburn to win his third BAR 1 Betting Hatton’s Grace Hurdle by the narrowest of margins.

Gordon Elliott’s Teahupoo claimed this Grade One prize in 2022 and 2023 and while Lossiemouth denied him the hat-trick last season, 12 months on he had another chance to join Limestone Lad, Solerina, Apple’s Jade and Honeysuckle as a three-time winner under Jack Kennedy.
