Gordon Elliott sealed a treble at Fairyhouse through newcomer Doctor Bravo in the bumper, a race named in memory of his uncle Willie Elliott.

John Gleeson did the steering on the French import and delivered the five-year-old grey gelding to unleash a devastating finish approaching the final furlong.

The pair soon led and went on their way to score by three and a quarter lengths at 15/2. Attaboyarchie (18/1) was the horse headed by Doctor Bravo and couldn't live with him once headed. He took second and a length and a quarter in front of Park Of Kings (10/1).

Elliott said: “We’ve been trying to win this race for a few years. A lot of the family are here, so it’s great.

“This is a nice horse and looking at that he may go for another bumper.”

Elliott's other winners on the card were Minella Crooner (2/1) and Landrake (7/1). The treble paid 203/1.

Paddy Power cut Doctor Bravo from 33/1 to 25/1 for the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham.

The Raceday Stewards interviewed Miss E.J. Sweeney, rider of Attaboyarchie, concerning her use of the whip in closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned, who accepted that she was in breach of Regulation 10. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that Miss E.J. Sweeney was in breach of Regulation 10.3(g) (frequency) and having considered her record, they suspended her for two racedays.
