Man produces mighty performance
Mighty Man turned the tables on Ladbrokes World Hurdle winner My Way De Solzen to win the opening contest at Aintree this afternoon.
The six-year-old finished third behind Alan Kingâs charge at Cheltenham but, in receipt of four pounds from his big rival, produced a telling burst of speed on the run-in to land the John Smithâs And Flixton Conservative Club Liverpool Hurdle at odds of 11-4.
Runner-up My Way De Solzen, the 6-4 favourite, again ran with credit and finished seven lengths adrift of the Richard Johnson-ridden winner, while No Refuge (16-1) stayed on for third place, 13 lengths further in arrears.
