Chainofconsequence produced a fine leap at the last to settle matters and record a game front-running success in the two-mile-five handicap hurdle at Limerick.

The Aengus King-trained gelding was prominent early and was a clear leader after the fifth flight.

Gavin Brouder got a good tune from the 25/1 shot down the straight. He was pressed by Positive Thinker going to the final flight and a better jump there made all the difference.

The Ocovango gelding stayed on stoutly on the run-in to record a length-and-a-half success.

Chainofconsequence was making his first start in handicap company.

"He is a nice horse and is in with his own company today, so had a chance,” said King.

“He had ran nicely in a bumper when Derek O'Connor rode him and he said he'd win a couple of races if you up the distance and change the ground.

"He is still very babyish and the fact he went to the front, thanks to Gavin, was the reason he won today. Gavin felt the pace was very slow and moved him up.

"He is a half-brother to Golden Jewel (Ladbroke Hurdle runner-up) and I bought him as a three year old for E3,500.

“He is turned in and doesn't walk like one you'd put on a catwalk in the fashion show so that's the reason I got him so cheap."
