What happened in the 2019 Charlie Hall Chase? 

The seven-strong line-up for the 2019 Charlie Hall Chase was a solid one, and featured several big names, including the Welsh National winner Elegant Escape and the Grade 1-winning novice La Bague Au Roi. The latter never figured, leaving the former to fight out the finish with Aso and Ballyoptic. The 2019 Ryanair runner-up Aso looked the winner for much of the way, but looked stretched by the three-mile trip and backed out of things late on, allowing Ballyoptic to assert and pick up a high-profile success over fences - from the staying on Elegant Escape in second.
