Jadanli emerged on top after a prolonged duel with Across The Bay in the novice chase at Navan.

Andrew Lynch had sent Jadanli to the front at the tenth after being settled early on.

He was joined by Across The Bay at the third last but found more on the run-in to get the better of that rival for a half length success.

"It's badly wanted. It's a relief to get that after the couple of months we've had," said winning trainer Paul Gilligan.

"He had leg trouble and had two years off. He had a couple of good runs back at top class level and hopefully he can move on from here."
