The Gordon Elliott trained Final Victory made an impressive winning hurdle debut in the Navan Maiden Hurdle at Navan today, scoring impressively under Paul Carberry.

Carberry oozed confidence on the son of Generous, moving to the front two out before staying on strongly to easily defeat Viaduct Joey ‘on the bridle’.

Afterwards Elliott stated “Final Victory is a nice horse but we couldn’t get him jumping well enough at home - Paul (Carberry) said he knew we were in business after jumping the second flight today though. He has always worked well at home, being rated in the 90s on the Flat.”
