Camillas Wish came out on top of a driving finish for the line with Chosen Dream to win the hunters' chase under Lisa O'Neill.

Jim Dreaper's eight-year-old mare just prevailed by a nose at 8/1 from the runner-up who was 5/4 second favourite. Quiet Account the 11/10 favourite, made a mistake at the fourth last and was soon pulled up by Noel McParlan.

Lisa O'Neill said: "She was really game, she was on song today. Tom and Jim Dreaper did their job right, they had her right at the right time. She's a little mare and a small field suited her.

"I was quietly confident (after the last) but the favourite was on the outside so you can never be too confident."
