Nick Lost made it three wins in-a-row, as he took the feature at Limerick this afternoon, the Cliona Hagan Plays Live July 26th Chase.
Successful in a handicap hurdle over the course and distance in May, the Henry de Bromhead trained six-year-old followed-up in style in a beginners chase at Punchestown.
Sent off the even money favourite this afternoon, the son of Nickname made all under Rachael Blackmore and jumped well throughout, keeping on well under pressure from before the bypassed last, going on to score by seven lengths. Childrens List (6/4) finished second, while Mine Now was thirteen lengths back in last. Cote Tete fell at the second.
Henry de Bromhead, who currently sits second in the 2018/19 National Hunt trainers championship, was recording his 21st win of the season, while Rachael Blackmore who leads the jockeys championship was recording her 19th success.
