Much Wants More (Derek O'Connor) leads over the last© Photo Healy Racing
Much Wants More benefitted from a patient ride by Derek O'Connor to take the Ingoldsby (QR) Handicap Chase at Punchestown.
The Martin Brassil-trained gelding was produced with a smooth challenge to lead before the last, and asserted in fine style on the run-in.
The 9/2 chance had two and three quarter lengths to spare over King Leon with Our Sox another half-length back in third.
Winning owner Jeremy Harley said, "This really takes me back to my roots as I trained the grandam to win a bumper. This horse was very keen when he was younger but Martin and his staff have done a brilliant job settling him, and Derek gave him a masterful ride.
"He probably wouldn't go on heavy ground. Martin always felt that if we could get nice ground on a galloping track it would suit him best."
