Strongpoint justified his short price in the 2m7f beginners chase at Tipperary to complete a quick double for Charlie Swan.

Davy Russell sent the 5/4 favourite to the front two from home and he soon asserted for a four-and-a-half victory over Chaussettes

The winner was gaining compensation for a fall at Kilbeggan last time when he looked certain to score.

"That's grand. He's a big chasing type. Davy thought he could come back in trip. He's only bred to get a mile-and-a-half and we might try two-and-a-half with him," said Swan.

"He has always swished his tail. It makes him go faster! We'll find something small for him."

Swan had also taken the other beginners chase on the card with Tribes And Banner
