Winning trainer Willie Mullins said on the J P McManus-owned youngster: "He did it well, he jumped better. He just was a lot better than he was at Christmas.

"We'll roll on - we haven't decided where we are going to go. He'll go across the water, he's in the Boodles and he is in the Triumph but we haven't made up our minds yet."
