The blinkered grey travelled well at the head of affairs and was over three lengths clear at the last where the favourite Bellshill (King’s Theatre), who was a beaten fourth at the time, fell. He stayed on to hold off Our Duke (Oscar) by a length and a quarter and the pair were six lengths clear of Balko Des Flos (Balko). Meade said: “It’s a great thrill to have one to jump as well as that and it never really looked a problem, he was gaining ground at every fence. Everything seemed to be going really well and it’s lovely to be able to watch something like that. “You would never be confident in a Gr.1, especially with the lads in behind you. You never want to build your confidence up too much, but I was happy when he jumped the last. “I’d say Cheltenham ground will suit him all right, the usual Cheltenham ground. I would never think that he would want quick ground. He’s a beautiful-moving horse.” This was a first Gr.1 victory for the horse and jockey, although Disko did run second to Bellshill in the Gr.1 Punchestown Champion Bumper in 2015 and he was last seen running a length third to Our Duke in the Gr.1 Novice Chase here in December, but that was over three miles.

  • ROBERT POWER (PUPPY POWER) Age: 31 From: Co Meath Prior To
    ROBERT POWER (PUPPY POWER) Age: 31 From: Co Meath Prior to becoming one of the top National Hunt jockeys in Ireland, Robbie Power was a very promising show jumper, who won a silver medal at the European Young Rider Championships. His father, Captain Con Power was a member of the Irish team that dominated the Aga Khan Cup in the late ‘70s and rode the legendary stallion Rockbarton. Power senior left the Irish Defence Forces and show jumping to become a racehorse trainer, so his offspring had all the angles covered. Robbie plumped for racing while his sister, Elizabeth is one of Ireland’s most successful eventing riders and it was on her horse, Doonaveeragh O One that he returned to his roots to finish third in the Eventer’s Grand Prix at Hickstead last year. That was fun though. Racing is business although when his boss, Jessica Harrington feels a horse needs something different to help it rediscover its enthusiasm, she invariably gets Power to take it hunting. And on behalf of his sister, he is always on the lookout for an ex-racehourse that might have a future in the eventing world. He was 20 when he returned to racing and rode his first winner on his mother’s mare, Younevertoldme at Punchestown. He worked at Willie Mullins’ yard for a while before getting a job with the Closutton maestro’s equally legendary father, Paddy. Two months after his first winner, he notched up his first success as a conditional jockey for his new boss on Bob What in a valuable Leopardstown handicap.
