The runner-up was returned a 9/4 chance under Paul Townend for*Willie Mullins, while his stable mate*Fabulous Saga*was third.
Davy Condon, assistant trainer to*Gordon Elliott, said afterwards: "Whatever he does this year will be a bonus because he is a real chaser for next year. Like all horses Eddie (O'Leary) buys for Gigginstown he'll have natural progression over hurdles and is your ideal model for chasing.
"Jack said he is still a big baby and took plenty of grabbing a hold of him and said he is really a horse for next year. I doubt Gordon will overdo him over hurdles this year and will mind him away but is one to look forward to."
Won well but quotes would be enough to put me off at this stage. That would be the best 3 mile performer iv seen so far this season. Long way yet.
