Cinders burns off Haydock rivals
Cinders And Ashes rubber-stamped his Cheltenham Festival credentials with a clean-cut victory in the williamhill.com “Supreme Trial” Novices’ Hurdle at Haydock.
Although only three runners went to post for this Grade Two contest, it was hard not to have been taken by the performance of Donald McCain’s inmate.
The 8-13 favourite jumped smartly from the outset before showing good pace to overtake Double Ross before the final flight.
Although he was rather shabby at the last, Cinders And Ashes was still eased down to collect by two and a half lengths.
