"He jumped brilliant and quickened up well. There's every chance he could go to a high level over fences," said Burke of the Potts-owned and Henry de Bromhead-trained Flemensfirth gelding.

Paul Carberry came down at the first aboard Rich Coast and he is receiving ongoing medical attention - leg injury.
