Donald McCain's nine-year-old Minella Drama had previously chased home Riders Onthe Storm in 2022.
Competing off a 6lb lower mark than last year, Minella Drama won by a length and three-quarters from Hitman, who also finished second in the £80,000 event in 2022. Ahoy Senor, ridden by Derek Fox, came in third, while 2-1 favourite Stage Star, who had underperformed in his last two visits to Aintree, finished fourth.
