The featured Grade 2 Ladbrokes Ireland Boyne Hurdle produced a superb finish, from which Beacon Edge emerged victorious, while dual Aintree Grand National winner Tiger Roll showed up well much of the way but eventually trailed in at the back of the field.

Fury Road was early favourite but notably easy to back right up until the moment it was patently clear he was going to jump off in front. He duly set the pace, but it was quite a sedate one, which had the field stacked up most of the way.
