Cape Express smoothly made the jump from novice to handicap company with a fluent success for trainer Nicky Henderson and jockey Barry Geraghty in the opening race of the new Aintree season.
The seven-year-old gelding proved easy to back, but made it look so easy in the Betfred 'Derby Day' Goals Galore Handicap Hurdle.
Only fourth after jumping three out, the 9-2 shot joined issue with the leaders at the next and was soon in complete command, coming home eight lengths clear of The Tiddly Tadpole.
