325 Aintree result
1st Buveur D'Air 4/9 favourite
2nd My Tent Or Yours 8/1
Report
Nicky Henderson claimed a notable haul in the race for the trainers' title as Buveur D'Air led home a one-two for the yard in the Betway Aintree Hurdle.
The New One made a bold bid from the front to regain his crown in a race he last won in 2014 but by the final hurdle he'd been mastered by the 4/9 market leader.
Barry Geraghty, completing a Grade One double on the card, didn't have to get serious with the Champion Hurdle winner from that point as he came clear to win by five lengths.
My Tent Or Yours travelled strongly throughout and came through to complete the Seven Barrows one-two, edging out The New One.
The winner remains unchanged at 7/2 with Sky Bet for next year's Stan James Champion Hurdle.
Reaction
Barry Geraghty: "He did that really well, he was obviously back in his Cheltenham form and Nicky has done a great job to get him back so soon.
"He's a very good horse. He's sharp, he's buzzy - he's a proper two-miler really. It's great for Nicky having the first two (as he chases the trainers' championship)."
Nicky Henderson: "It seems so unfair doing this to My Tent as if any horse deserved to win here or at Cheltenham it's him but all we are doing is beating him ourselves which seems so ridiculous! Where else can you go, you have to come here and the Cheltenham form has been confirmed.
"Buveur had quite a tough race at Cheltenham, they all do, no matter how easy they win, it's like Defi Du Seuil, they come out of it well but they won't have done much.
"We'll speak to JP (McManus) but I'd have thought it would be unlikely he'll go to Punchestown. It will probably be shoes off and out for his summer break.
"There's a long way to go in the championship but we've got some nice horses over the first couple of days and then all we can do is sit back - you never know we might win it (National) with Cocktails At Dawn. It's fun, Paul (Nicholls) and I will have a laugh about it."
