DUAL Grade 1-winning hurdler Finian's Oscar ran out a wide-margin winner on his chasing debut in the totequadpot Novices' Chase at Chepstow.

Colin Tizzard's Mersey Novices' Hurdle hero was a 1/3 chance to land this listed test, but took some time to warm to his task and had plenty of ground to make up at the end of the back straight, where Alcala and Aintree My Dream cut out a strong pace.

Alcala slipped up on the bend, leaving Aintree My Dream in front, but Finian's Oscar easily made up the ground on the home turn under Bryan Cooper and bounded readily clear of Tintern Theatre.
