The JP McManus-owned eight-year-old (left) denied the hat-trick-seeking Galopin Des Champs in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham last March but has been a total of 94 lengths in the John Durkan Punchestown Gold Cup and the Savills Chase at Leopardstown this season.

The pair will reoppose in the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup back in Foxrock next Saturday.
