Ruby Walsh proved the master of timing again as he reeled in longtime leaders Casey Top and Lucy Stone to win by four lengths on board Sivota the 5/2 second favourite.
Casey Top and Lucy Stone cut out a frenetic pace and were ten lengths clear throughout, however, Ruby took up the running at the last and was good value for the four length win.
Winning trainer Willie Mullins said: "I'm delighted he came back on his first run to do that, especially off his current mark. Ruby was very good on him to be able to reel the leaders in.
"I will look to go back to the flat now as he is nicely handicapped there."
