Clan Des Obeaux oozes class in Betway Bowl
Famous day on Merseyside for part-owner Sir Alex Ferguson.
Clan Des Obeaux made it third time lucky in the Betway Bowl Chase at Aintree with a superb performance. It was also a red-letter day for Sir Alex Ferguson and his fellow owners, after the same colours were earlier carried to victory in the two previous Grade Ones by Protektorat and Monmiral. The Paul Nicholls-trained nine-year-old was third in this race in 2018 and second in 2019. He finally got his just reward in some style to give Nicholls and jockey Harry Cobden a double after Monmiral. Mister Fisher made the running to the 12th fence, where he unseated Nico de Boinville after making a bad mistake. Clan Des Obeaux soon led after that and stretched the opposition. Clondaw Castle was the only horse able to lay down a challenge, but he could not live with the 5-2 favourite, who drew well clear to win by 26 lengths. Clondaw Castle was 18 lengths ahead of Native River. Dual Grand National hero Tiger Roll was fourth, a further 48 lengths away as the field finished well strung out.Follow us on Twitter racing365dotcom and like our Facebook page.
