Delighted trainer Nicky Henderson landed a 1-2 but revealed his winner was more than he could have anticipated.

He told ITV: “That was awesome, obviously I know what the second horse is!

“I’d have been surprised to see anyone do that to Jonbon. He must be extraordinary!”

But it was a horrible race for connections of Shallwehaveonemore, with the 40-1 shot suffering a fatal injury after falling.

1. Constitution Hill 9/4 CF

3. Kilcruit 6-1
