Young Paddymc made all under Jonathan Moore to land the novice handicap hurdle in Down Royal.

The 7/2 chance kept finding at the business end as he closed out the race by four and a quarter lengths from 9/4 favourite Benefit Of Magic

Trainer Tom Gibney said: "It was a good, tough performance. He's all about chasing that fellow, that was the plan from day one so it is lovely to get a hurdle with him before we go chasing with him next year.

"The plan was to make all as he looks like he wants every bit of three miles - two six was never going to be a struggle anyway. He's starting to get the hang of things."
