Just two horses competed for the concluding Paddy Power Late Night Shopping (Pro/Am) Bumper at Naas today but the race looked a proper match with the Gigginstown House Stud owned and Gordon Elliott trained Tycoon Prince completing a bumper treble under Nina Carberry.

Tycoon Prince, the outsider of the pair at 7/4, tracked 4/9 favourite and Willie Mullins trained Up For Review for most of the race but quickened past that rival a furlong out, for a three lengths win.

Three horses had been declared for what is traditionally a hot winners' bumper (Ascot Gold Cup winner Rite Of Passage won in 2009) but Gigginstown's other declared runner Tombstone was taken out with a stone bruise.

Following the win trainer Elliott stated "we think he's very nice, and he's a big exciting horse to go jumping hurdles with. That's him (finished) now for this season, and he'll have a nice break.

"He's a giant but is not slow and has plenty of speed for his size.

"That's my 20th bumper winner this season, and we have a lovely bunch of horses to go hurdling with next season."

The previous two-runner bumper contested in Ireland was at Listowel in September 2012 when top mare Annie Power showed no mercy to her one opponent, beating Vintage Supreme by 61 lengths.

The win was a second on the card for Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown team, who earlier won the Nas Na Riogh Chase with Empire Of Dirt
