Mohaison the star turn

Star De Mohaison completed a rare double in style when he powered home in the John Smith’s Mildmay Novices’ Chase at Aintree.

The Paul Nicholls-trained gelding was following up his victory in the season’s other top staying novice event, the Royal & SunAlliance Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, a feat last achieved by Monsieur Le Cure in 1994.
