Willie Mullins and Paul Townend completed a treble on the card at Leopardstown when The Big Getaway recorded a facile win in the Ballymaloe Foods Beginners Chase.
The 4/5 shot made all in the two-mile-five contest and could be called the winner from a long way out.
Townend let his mount stretch away on the run-in to record a 10-length win over Cedarwood Road
“It was nice to get that out of the way and he jumped well,” said Mullins.
“We'll look for a winners of one but the way the program is he'll probably have to go up in grade now, maybe back here at the Dublin Racing Festival.
“The (Grade 1) Flogas Chase could be an option for him.”
