Fourth time lucky for favourite Dinoblue at Cheltenham

Dinoblue emphatically ended her hoodoo when claiming the Mrs Mares’ Chase for Willie and Mark Walsh.

The eight-year-old had three times been a beaten favourite at Hunt ‘s showpiece meeting, including when a close second to Limerick Lace in this contest 12 months ago.

However, she laid those ghosts to rest to give owner a fourth consecutive Mares’ Chase victory.

Walsh was happy to track front-running stablemate Allegorie De Vassy for much of the way before easing ahead approaching the penultimate fence, with the 6-4 market leader left to come home clear well clear of Brides Hill after Allergorie De Vassy fell at the last.
