Draco easily accounts for his two rivals

The Aidan O'Brien trained Draco recorded his second win over hurdles as he ran out an easy thirteen length winner of the INH Stallion Owners EBF Novice Hurdle.

The five-year-old son of Hernando won his maiden at Bellewstown in August and he was fifth to Rich Coast in a Grade 3 at Tipperary on his last start.

Sent off the 4/7 favourite to account for his three rivals here he made all under Robbie Power and went clear from the third last, keeping on well on the run-in to score easily. The Herds Garden (15/8) finished a well-beaten second while Mysticaltou was a further two and a half lengths back in last.

Robbie Power said afterwards: "He has loads of experience and he jumped really, really well.

"He had been very free early on but he is starting to settle down. I just felt in Tipperary the last day that I didn't make enough use of him. He had been so keen we were just trying to settle him.

"He has grown up an awful lot and he will be a lovely horse in novice chases next year."
