Too Bossy For Us and Paul Townend win the ThatPrizeGuy.co.uk Maiden Hurdle.

Too Bossy For Us opened his hurdling account in the ThatPrizeGuy.co.uk Maiden Hurdle at the Punchestown meeting rescheduled from Bank Holiday Monday.

Trained for the H O S Syndicate by Willie Mullins and ridden by Paul Townend, the Golden Horn gelding tracked marginal favourite Speculateur and, despite racing keenly most of the way, mastered that rival on the approach to the final flight before beating stable-companion Mino Des Mottes by two and a half lengths.
