Danny Gilligan delivered Wodhooh to perfection, as Gordon Elliott’s Irish raider claimed the Ladbrokes Ascot Hurdle.

Winner of the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival last season before chasing home Lossiemouth in the Aintree Hurdle, the five-year-old was the 6-5 favourite for Ascot’s Grade Two event which was last won by an Irish runner when Faugheen hit the target 11 years ago.
