Grand National Festival: Honesty Policy pounces to deny Regent’s Stroll in Aintree’s Mersey Novices’ Hurdle | Racing News

Gordon Elliot won the Turners Mersey Novices for the fourth year in a row, as the policy of honesty traveled to the home late to break the heart of Regent in Aintree.

It looked like another master’s degree in the forefront of Harry Kobben, who succeeded on this on the Paul Nicholls of CaldWell Potter in the famous silk of the late John Halz on Friday.

The six -year -old was bravely hit with the challenge that Koktail Divin is facing from Henry de Bromahid and Willi Molins Fontecola directly at the long home of Entry, but he did not have an answer to pushing the late honesty policy as he was handed over with experience in Mark and the gold cup winner.

The 5/1 chance is full of running to hit half a length, with Stroll’s Stroll Off Funiculi Funicula for the second time.

Elliot – who was hit 12 months ago with Brightdaysaead:

“I would like to say that he may have been going quickly as much as he could, so we are completely happy with him.

“He will definitely go further next year, and staying is his game, as you can see.

“I don’t know if it will go to the walls or stay it up, we will enjoy today first.”

Elliot was formerly Caldwell Potter coach before selling him to his new prayers, which include Sir Alex Ferguson.

On this occasion, the Pergon’s dousation was partially overcome in second place and the two participated in the ring.

Elliot said: “Sir Alex loves the game and came to say well and told him I did well yesterday. We wanted to keep Caldwell Potter, but this is the game that we are in.”

“This was a lucky race for me, this is four consecutive victories.”

From the runner -up, Nichols said: “He ran some race, right? I am happy with him.

“It was not easy with him throughout the season, but he started mentally getting there and that was very far away. The tour of Winstanton on the last day was good and started cold – today, taking into account this occasion, behaving as it was.

“He settled and jumped completely wonderful, as Harry said he accelerated from the end of the line.

“Ultimately, his future is more than the walls, I have always said, and anything he won on obstacles will be a reward. It is a future horse, and we will put it away now and go to the beginner in the fall.”
