Dinons (1/4f) put in a fine display of jumping as he made all in the BetVictor Novice Chase to give Gordon Elliott a treble in Killarney.

The six-year-old enjoyed his introduction to fences with an authoritative performance as he won by a couple of lengths from 16/1 shot Rock Road

Jack Kennedy, who sealed a double on the card, said: "He is cleaner over a fence than he has been over hurdles. He is a big horse and that was always the way it was going to be better over a fence.

"He was brilliant and you couldn't fault him. He was good and careful at times but you'd rather them that way than being stupid."
