The Arthur Moore trained Sorceror justified favouritism when landing The Kilpedder Syndicate Maiden Hurdle at Punchestown this afternoon under Davy Russell.

Winning trainer Moore said afterwards, "He is still a bit green but is a very nice horse. He probably didn't jump as well as he did at Leopardstown but it is very open out here in front. We will probably give him 6 weeks and wait for the good ground and go for a winners of one with him. I won't put a gun to his head but I think he'll make a lovely chaser next year."
