Burrows Edge lifts Lanzarote prize

Henderson runner benefits from last-flight fallers at Kempton.

Burrows Edge ran out a fortunate winner of the Unibet Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle at Kempton.

The Nicky Henderson-trained runner looked booked for third at best approaching the final flight as Debestyman seemed sure to give Suzy Smith a valuable winner, only to make a bad blunder and get rid of Micheal Nolan.

That left Olly Murphy’s favourite Notre Pari in the lead, but as soon as his supporters thought they were going to collect, he also fell at the same flight.

All the while Burrows Edge was plugging on up the rail, having been sent wide for most of the two miles and five furlongs by Nico de Boinville, and he came clear to win by nine lengths from Vive Le Roi.
