ABACADABRAS MADE AMENDS for crashing out at Cheltenham when taking Grade One honours in the Betway Aintree Hurdle at the Liverpool course.
The Denise Foster-trained seven-year-old exited at the third flight in the Champion Hurdle – but bounced back to strike in the hands of Jack Kennedy.
Abacadabras (5-1) had the loose Jason The Militant for company in the closing stages and kept on strongly to hold Buzz by a length and a quarter, with Millers Bank two and a quarter lengths in third and Buveur D’Air fourth.
