The Herds Garden (15/8) finished a well-beaten second while Mysticaltou was a further two and a half lengths back in last. Robbie Power said afterwards: "He has loads of experience and he jumped really, really well. "He had been very free early on but he is starting to settle down. I just felt in Tipperary the last day that I didn't make enough use of him. He had been so keen we were just trying to settle him. "He has grown up an awful lot and he will be a lovely horse in novice chases next year."
