Kilty Storm ran out a convincing winner of the hunters chase at Leopardstown.

Given a positive ride by Declan Queally, brother of Flat jockey Tom, he went to the front at the tenth.

Roger McGrath 's charge stayed on strongly down the home straight to score by four lengths from Dusty Doolan

4/6 favourite Agus A Vic could only manage third, a further eight lengths behind.

"I'll let the owners decide if they want to go across the water for Cheltenham," said McGrath afterwards.
