Us And Them obliges for O'Brien and Slevin Us And Them was another horse to win from the front in Navan, this time in the beginners' chase. Joseph O'Brien's five-year-old gelding made virtually all but looked vulnerable to strong-travelling Duca De Thaix who tracked him going to the last. Us And Them put in a fantastic leap at the final fence, though, and quickly bounded clear to score by two lengths at 5/1. Duca De Thaix had to settle for second at 7/1 with Trainwreck six lengths further away in third at 6/1. The gambled on 5/2 favourite Jetz unseated Robbie Power at the third-last when racing third. Winning-jockey JJ Slevin said: "The run at Wexford would have brought him on fitness wise. He jumped very well in Wexford and he jumped well again today and that probably won it for him. "He has a massive amount of scope and from day one he kind of had an exceptional jump in him. I rode him as a young horse and I always loved him. His jumping is such a big asset to him. He could be a nice horse.” "He won two hurdles and was second in a Grade Two and he's 16.3 and a big fine horse. He could be a nice two-mile chaser. “He went around Punchestown as a four-year-old and he was always a great jumper. He did it well." Additional reporting by Gary Carson
