Australia among Curragh workers.

Australia, winter favourite for the Investec Derby and Qipco 2000 Guineas, is set to form part of Aidan O'Brien's after-racing work team at the Curragh on Sunday.

The Galileo colt is arguably unlucky to be without an unblemished record, having missed the break badly on his debut.

It was thought the Doom Bar Aintree Hurdle would provide a simple way for connections of The New One to start picking up the pieces of their Cheltenham Festival disappointment - but it proved a far closer-run thing as the 4-9 favourite held on by the skin of his teeth.

Although trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies and his jockey-son Sam are generally laid-back characters, both were fairly distraught after he was badly hampered by the fatal fall of Our Conor in the Champion Hurdle and could only recover third place behind Jezki and My Tent Or Yours.

Silviniaco Conti (9-4) was still leading on the run-in and wandered across the course as Lord Windermere and two other late finishers rushed past, but he added this Grade One prize to his most important one to date, the King George VI Chase at Kempton.

Pineau De Re claimed Crabbie's Grand National glory at Aintree for trainer Dr Richard Newland and jockey Leighton Aspell.

The 11-year-old was a 25-1 shot after finishing third in the Pertemps Final over hurdles at the Cheltenham Festival and moved into the race travelling powerfully.

He jumped the final fence in a clear lead and his pursuers never looked like bridging the gap as he galloped all the way to the line to secure a momentous five-length victory.

Balthazar King ran a fine race to finish second, ahead of champion jockey Tony McCoy aboard Double Seven. Alvarado stayed on from a long way back to finish fourth, while for those punters who bet with bookmakers paying out on the first five, Rocky Creek occupied that berth.
