Etania won for the first time over hurdles, and the third time under Rules, in division one of the staying novices handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter.
She received an exemplary ride from Tom O’Brien, who kept her prominent throughout and saved ground all-the-way by taking the inside line.
Etania was allowed to stride on and strike the front at the second last, and from then on she stuck her neck out to win in game fashion.
