Zarkandar rallied bravely to deny The New One in the John Smith's Aintree Hurdle.
Ruby Walsh was allowed an uncontested lead on the Champion Hurdle fourth, who was equipped with blinkers for the first time on British soil.
Crack novice The New One was sent off the 11-4 favourite to add to his Cheltenham Festival success and loomed up menacingly to take the lead off Zarkandar early in the straight, but Walsh had saved a bit on Paul Nicholls' 11-2 chance and he stayed on strongly to get back up by half a length.
