Super Solwhit in sparkling show.

World Hurdle hero Solwhit turned in another superb display in the hands of Paul Carberry to claim the John Smith's Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree.

Charles Byrnes' talented but fragile nine-year-old (9-4 favourite) was always travelling well in the middle of the pack and was still cruising in behind the leaders at the top of the home straight, but Carberry was keen to bide his time.

The ultra-confident jockey was looking round for dangers between the final two flights and Solwhit sealed victory with a spring-heeled leap at the last. He kicked on up the run-in to score by three lengths from Holywell, with Smad Place back in third.
