MESSIRE DES OBEAUX showed his two younger rivals the way home in the Paddy Power Dipper Novices’ Chase at Wincanton.
Winner of the Grade One Challow Novices’ Hurdle at Newbury on New Year’s Eve of 2016, Alan King’s charge went on to be placed at both the Cheltenham Festival and Aintree the following spring, before injury kept him off the track for almost three years.
