Champion Hurdle dream alive for Tommy's Oscar after fluent win

Tommy's Oscar extended his winning streak to four at Haydock. Handicap victories at this venue, Doncaster and Musselburgh had seen his mark rise from 138 to 156. Oscar was given a cool ride by champion conditional Danny McMenamin.

Ann Hamilton's charge made up the ground in the home straight and was driven out after the final flight to beat Tommy's Oscar by five lengths. Tommy’s Oscar was the odds-on favourite for the Champion Hurdle.

Ann and Ian Hamilton are considering going to Cheltenham. Minella Drama won the Patrick Coyne Memorial Altcar Novices’ Chase. Donald McCain”s charge was the 85-40 favourite. Aintree has been discussed. Brian wants Ann to go to Ayr first. The horse is wild. Adrian Lane rides him every day. He is not easy. Ann Hamilton wanted to run him over two miles a few times first to get the freshness out of him.
