Nessfield Blue somehow sees off Heavey to win his first race in incredible style

Gavin Sheehan on 6-1 Nessfield Blue and 9-4 favourite Orchestrated under Charlie Hammond were miles behind and seemingly out of it.

McLernon is so far ahead you can even see when he looks behind him to see if anyone is trying to catch him.

At the point he would be forgiven for thinking the job was done – it was anything but.

In a truly remarkable finish, Sheehan and the Pat Murphy-trained Nessfield Blue find a surge of speed from somewhere to stun the longtime leader.

Punters were stumped by the scenes, which just go to show nothing in racing is a certainty.

One said: “What a belter of a ride!”

Another commented: “Some get up by the winner.”

While another posted: “Backers of Heavey @FontwellPark tearing up their betting slips into piles on the floor after the final fence, meeting backers of Nessfield Blue who were trying to find the remnants of their slips in the same place.

“The joy of the jumps.”
