Murcia claimed an easy victory in the Boodles Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree.

The filly, trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Paul Townend in the Honeysuckle colours of Kenny Alexander, was beaten in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham but bounced back under a positive ride to show her true talent.
