The horse’s owners are Dermot Hanafin and Phil Cunningham - the latter is best known in racing as owner of dual Guineas winner Cockney Rebel.

Next year’s Stan James Champion Hurdle is now on the horse’s agenda said McCain, whose late father, Ginger, bought the horse for £4,500 at Doncaster as a two-year-old. McCain subsequently had to put Cinders And Ashes through the ring at Ascot last year to settle an ownership dispute, but managed to buy him back for £72,000.

Remembering the horse’s early days under the McCains’ care, Donald said: “Dad’s looking down on me now. It was down to him and not me. Dad bought him as a big stroppy two-year-old that wanted to shag everything, so we cut him and did his wind and gave him a break.

“We really did fancy him like mad but when you come here you think ‘we really cannot fancy him in this’. “After he’d won his first race at Haydock I rang Dermot and said ‘he’s 33/1 for the Supreme, you’d better start backing him’. Then you start panicking, it goes without saying.

“He made a mistake at one hurdle in the middle of the race, but Jason was trying to take him back because he was getting there too soon. Then he got him rolling again and he made another mistake at the last for the same reason, because Jason felt he was going to the front too soon.

“He’s a very relaxed horse and a very decent horse. My head girl rides him every day and has worked her socks off with him. He’s a pleasure to deal with now.

“You just want your horses to run well all week, but we can relax a bit now and enjoy the rest of the festival. It’s great to get the one in and this is one we expected to run well. We have a few with chances such as Peddlers Cross, Cloudy Lane and Bourne, but this has got us off to a good start.

“Whether he runs again this season I don’t know, but we took him to Aintree last season and he was as flat as a pancake. He will probably start off in something like the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle next season and we’ll go from there.”

“This makes the rest of the week easier - this horse and Peddlers Cross were the big white hopes - and he is a special horse.”

The winning jockey, Jason Maguire, enjoying his fourth Festival victory, declared: ““I am over the moon with him. He had to be tough in a couple of places because we were down on the inside - Donald told me to ride him with a bit of balls today. He was tight at the top of the hill and he could have probably backed out of it but he didn’t.

“He travelled very strongly turning in and, when I did get upsides, he pricked his ears coming to the last. I missed the last but, to be fair, once I got hold of him, he picked up for me again.

“He has probably never really had his ground because he was second in a bumper on soft ground here and then didn’t stay OK in the Champion Bumper. He’s stronger now and you wouldn’t hardly know that he has had a race today if I am honest.

“I had a bit of a worry when he didn’t want to come down at the start - I think that it probably the shock of the crowd - but you couldn’t fault him.

“Donald is quick to understand that, if the horses aren’t good enough, then he gets them to their own level. He was always sweet on this horse - we always loved him - and he was a great buy from Ginger. Hopefully, we can keep on winning races for him.”

MAGUIRE’S DELIGHT

Jason Maguire was delighted to get off the scoresheet at this year’s Festival when partnering Cinders And Ashes to win the opening William Hill Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

“I am over the moon with him,” said Maguire. “He had to be tough in a couple of places because we were down on the inside - Donald told me to ride him with a bit of balls today. He was tight at the top of the hill and he could have probably backed out of it but he didn’t.

“He travelled very strongly turning in and, when I did get upsides, he pricked his ears coming to the last. I missed the last but, to be fair, once I got hold of him, he picked up for me again.

“He has probably never really had his ground because he was second in a bumper on soft ground here and then didn’t stay OK in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper. He’s stronger now and you would hardly know that he has had a race today if I am honest.

“I had a bit of a worry when he didn’t want to come down at the start - I think that it was probably the shock of the crowd - but you couldn’t fault him.

“Donald (McCain) is quick to understand that, if the horses aren’t good enough, then he gets them to their own level. He was always sweet on this horse - we always loved him - and he was a great buy from Ginger. Hopefully we can keep on winning races for him.”

It was an emotional success for winning trainer Donald McCain’s mother Beryl, whose legendary husband Ginger died last year.

“That’s just fantastic,” said McCain. “It couldn’t be a better result and this is one Ginger bought (for £4,500 as a two-year-old at Doncaster in May 2009). The horse was named after a swear word in Thomas The Tank Engine.”

HOPE NO RUN OF SECONDS

Nicky Henderson, trainer of second-placed Darlan, said:

“There are worse places to be than second. But I hope it isn’t a sign that it’s going to go the same way as last year [when he had runners-up in the first three races], that would be frustrating. We’re thrilled with him. He’s a lovely horse, and he’s going to be a better horse.”

J P McManus, owner of second-placed Darlan.
“You have to be pleased with him. He just met one too good on the day, and that’s the way it goes sometimes.”

Charles Byrnes, trainer of third-placed Trifolium.
“I couldn’t have asked for more from him, no excuses. We’d be perfectly happy to take the two in front of us on again, there’s not much between them.”

Michael O’Leary, owner of third-placed Trifolium
“Absolutely delighted. Any time you find yourself in here [in the winner’s enclosure] is a good day. At this meeting I spend most of my time squelching about where all the losers are being washed down, and where the other one of mine [Midnight Game] is. People ask me why I always wear boots here - I tell them its because I’m usually over in the shit pit.”

Eddie O’Leary, brother and racing manager of the owner.
“Any time you turn left here coming off the course is great, it means you’re in the first four. Bit like going into first class on a plane. And we’re the first Irish-trained horse home.”

Alan King, trainer of fourth-placed Montbazon.
“Maybe he might have been second if he hadn’t hit the second last, who knows? But he’s run a marvellous race. And he ain’t the finished article yet. He’ll be a so much better horse next year.”
