Golden Kite (4/1 to 5/2) proved the one for money in the Navigation Road Hurdle at Cork and duly landed the spoils.

Shane Hassett produced his mount to lead in the straight and he jumped the last three well. Chateau D'Eau flashed home to get within a neck.

"He did it well and I'm very happy with him. It was a great ride from Shane," said trainer Adrian Maguire.

"He looked after him at Kilbeggan after he got stopped a few times and it's paid dividends.

"He's a chaser and is still a novice over fences. Hopefully we'll have good fun with him over the summer and we'll mix it with him.

"Credit to the owner who is a patient man. There is only one time he has insisted with him and that was to come here."
