Jason Maquire picked up the ride on Jonjo O'Neill's Foundation Man from a banged-up AP McCoy and steered the 3/1 favourite to a comfortable three and three-quarter length victory.
Foundation Man’s dam, Function Dream, won a Castleford Chase at Wetherby in 2000 and was favourite for the Champion Chase later that season only for the meeting to be lost to foot and mouth disease.
“His wind is not the best, he had another operation in the summer,” said O’Neill. “He’s a good jumper and he likes good ground. He’s related to Captain Chris and he’s had issues as well.”
