It was the third Grade One win of the day for ex-Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and his co-owners. "I think that's my first hat-trick in Liverpool - I don't think they'll be too pleased," laughed Ferguson afterwards. "You do get the same excitement when you win big races like that as it does get you very excited." But Clan Des Obeaux was the most impressive with first-time cheekpieces helping the two-time King George VI Chase winner. It was a second win in the race for James King who was successful on Dineur four years ago.
