Walsh angling for Aintree with Seabass
The former champion was seen at his strongest on Seabass, trained by his father Ted, to beat the flattering Zaarito by a length in the paddypower.com Chase, having earlier driven Felix Yonger clear on the run-in to land the paddypwer.com Novice Hurdle.
Dropping back to two miles, Seabass extended his winning sequence to seven races, stretching back more than two years, when justifying 5/4 favouritism in the Grade 2 feature, getting the better of the flattering Zaarito, which had come through to lead at the second last before being outstayed on the run-in.
