Ask The Leader (9/1) repeated last year’s victory in the Kingdom Healthcare Handicap Hurdle.

Once again partnered by Darragh O’Keeffe, the six-year-old tracked the leaders before being sent to the front after the second-last. Also a winner over a longer trip at this venue last October, she wasn’t going to be found wanting for stamina and galloped on strongly to beat Unlaoised and Darkest Hour by three and a half lengths and four lengths.
