The Gordon Elliott trained Nedzer's Return followed up on his recent win at Fairyhouse when he came home in front in the Morning Star Belfast Hunters Chase.

Simon McGonagle who took the riding honours settled his mount in the behind the leaders and the pair were left in the lead after Symphonist fell five fences from home.

The son of Bob's Return kept on well on the run-in to hold off the efforts of Donati and Derek O'Connor comfortably by two lengths.

"I'm delighted for the owners that he won again. Hopefully we'll find another race for him", said a delighted Elliott.

"We will probably take our chances in the Fox Hunters at Aintree now after that."
