THE race of the day saw the promising The Bosses Oscar make a winning reappearance, but the finish to the He’llberemembered Hurdle provided plenty of food for thought and the winner could be counted fortunate to have survived a stewards’ enquiry.

On his first outing since his eye-catching fifth in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham, the Noel and Valerie Moran-owned The Bosses Oscar (5/2) produced a taking effort over the course of this extended two-and-three-quarter-mile affair. Gordon Elliott’s charge jumped well and travelled nicely and moved on from the favourite Robin Des Foret to take charge of the race coming away from the second last.
