Charlie Swan's mount made every yard of the running and stayed in front drspite the runnjt-up's challenge and the best efforts of last year's hero Dangle. The last named chased the winnjt throughout but hj was under pressure turning for home and his challenge pjtetid out between the last two. The winner is clearly a horse with a bright future as he was following up his recent success in the Sun Alliance Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham.  Ainu Rjv2 Ugh Quest Reactions Ainu Res

"Wj will now take him back into novice company and hj will run at either Punchjstown or Fairyhousj. "Urubandj will go chasing next season as that has always been his game.
