A thrilling start to the Aintree Festival for Down Royal Form.   Mange Tout clinches victory in the Grade 1 Boodles Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle, ridden by Jack Kennedy for Gordon Elliott and Robcour.   Koktail Divin secures the Grade 1 William Hill Manifesto Novices’ Chase for owner Barry Maloney, trained by Henry De Bromhead, with Darragh O’Keeffe in the saddle.   Both horses shone at the Down Royal Festival in 2025, with Mange Tout taking the Lisburn & Castlereagh City 3-Y-O Hurdle win and Koktail Divin finishing strong in 2nd place behind Romeo Coolio in the BetVictor Beginners’ Chase.   Huge congratulations to all connections !
