In race two, the Promote Your Business At Fairyhouse In 2016 Beginners Chase, Roi Des Francs (8/13) followed up on his Willie Mullins odds-on stable companion Killultagh Vic s win in the first, by landing the three miler with the minimum of fuss.

Bryan Cooper rode the Gigginstown House Stud-owned victor and he made all to easily beat another one for the County Westmeath-based operation, Sub Lieutenant (7/2), by six lengths.

"He stays and he jumps. He'll be one of our good staying novices, and the race that first comes to mind is the four-mile at Cheltenham. He could be a National horse down the road," said Mullins.

"He seems to excel in that ground but I'd imagine over a distance he'd go on good ground."
