The future superstar went off an unconsidered 20/1 outsider in the three-mile Bective Novice Hurdle and stormed to a surprise success with the favourite and Tom Dreaper trained stable companion Kerforo well beaten.
Kerforo was partnered that day by Pat Taaffe, who was in the saddle for all of Arkle’s big race triumphs.
