Gordon Elliott completed a treble at Fairyhouse this afternoon, with Jalon D'oudairies claiming the race named in honour of his late uncle, the Willie Elliott & Summerhill Meath SFC Champions (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race.
Successful on his sole point-to-point start at Lingstown when in the care of Donnchadh Doyle, the No Risk At All four-year-old was subsequently sold for 420,000 pounds.
Sent off the 11/8 favourite this afternoon, the Gigginstown House Stud owned bay raced in second under Harry Swan, improving to dispute the lead with over half a mile to race.
Pushed along to gain an outright advantage early in the straight, the market leader soon stretched clear and came home five-lengths to the good.
Newcomer Major Barry (22/1) made late gains to take second under Aine O'Connor, while the easy-to-back Inn At The Park (11/4 from 15/8 early) was another four lengths back in third.
"We were keen to try and win it and he's a nice horse," Elliott, who earlier struck with So Des Flos and Firefox commented,
"We were worried there would be no gallop so we let him roll on.
"He's only four and will stay in bumpers this season.
"It’s great to win it. All my aunties and cousins are here and Peter (Roe, manager) was very good and gave us a box up in the stand. There is about 50 of us all together."
