Golden proves best in Dan Moore
Golden Silver ran out a cosy winner of the Dan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend.
The French-bred travelled extremely well turning in on the testing conditions and got to the lead at the last.
Townend soon asked his mount to go about his business and he stayed on well to score by three-lengths from Blueberry Boy
The winner's well-backed stable-mate Jayo (9/4 to 6/4) blundered at the second last, ending any chance he had.
"He just loves this ground - it's the key to him," said Mullins of the winner afterwards.
"It's nice compensation for Cheltenham. Hopefully I'll try and get him back for Punchestown if I can. The Champion Chase is there for him.
"Jayo just didn't jump the second last and that put him out of the race."
