Hot favourite Saint Calvados was gifted a huge lead by his key rival on the way to winning the bet365 Oaksey Chase.
Mister Fisher, second in the betting, backed away from the tape at the start of the Grade 2 event at Sandown. By the time his rider Nico de Boinville got him going forward again, Harry Cobden had poached a big advantage on the evens favourite.
Saint Calvados jumped fluently returning to front running tactics that previously served him well and kept up the gallop to score by 16 lengths. It was the second leg of an incredible five-timer for Paul Nicholls, crowned champion trainer for the 13th time earlier in the afternoon.
