Sent off 100-1 that day, Comhla Ri Coig went down by just half a length to Ogee in the Grade One Sefton Novices' Hurdle but he was another who looked every bit a future chaser.
Ogee notched his second victory from as many tries since his attentions were diverted to fences when making all the running in the hands of Jimmy McCarthy to win the 2m5f novice chase unchallenged.
But while backers were in clover after Voy Por Ustedes' win, the Sefton Novices' Hurdle, went the way of the bookmakers as Ogee scored at 25-1.
