The Ladbrokes Live Streaming Hurdle resulted in a facile success for 8/15 favourite Go Another One who was always prominent and never came off the bridle before accounting for Samurai Cracker by 18 lengths, despite a clumsy leap at the final flight.

The Stowaway 8-year-old continues to benefit from being really well placed by his trainer John McConnell and this was an 11th win from 25 starts, with seven of those victories coming over hurdles including a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Thurles in 2019 when he beat the useful Notebook.

7lbs claiming amateur Ben Harve was on board, as he had been for a similarly easy win at Cork earlier this month, and commented: "He was entitled to do that. There was a concern over the ground, but he handled it. He jumped well and travelled well.

When asked if he is a better hurdler than steeplechaser he replied: “He jumped better today, but he jumps fences well and has a nice mark over fences.”
