First of these was the Savills Hurdle with 8 running on yielding ground and the finished strung out like the proverbial Brown's Cows led by the favourite Home By The Lee who was 6 lengths ahead of Bob Olinger who was 3 ¾ ahead of Rocky's Diamond and the rest were nearly all separated by similar distances.

The Chase was won by one of Willie Mullins's 5 starters out of 9 – Galopin des Champs  who had a very soft win by 7 lengths over stablemate Fact To File with Gentleman's Game a further 5 lengths away.
