Mange Tout reverses form with Selma De Vary at Aintree

Mange Tout refused to be beaten in the Boodles Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree.

Trained by Gordon Elliott and ridden by Jack Kennedy, the filly was a 5-1 chance as she turned up at the meeting fresh having last been seen in February.

In a field of 10 she was always travelling, and after taking up the lead she fought off a challenge from Triumph Hurdle fourth Selma De Vary (9-4 favourite) – who was one place in front of the winner when they met at the Dublin Racing Festival – to prevail by three-quarters of a length.
