Overturn Makes All
Overturn made all to claim a first Grade One victory in the stanjames.com Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle.
Donald McCain's charge won the Coral Hurdle at Ascot last week and turned out just seven days later to account for 5-4 favourite Binocular in some style in the hands of Jason Maguire.
Celestial Halo was the first of the 'big three' to crack and though Binocular held every chance coming down the straight, he could never get to Overturn (7-4) and was beaten by four and a half lengths.
