Jered did it in good style here, quickening smartly before the last to pull clear. Punchestown is next on the agenda.
Held up in rear in the early stages he moved closer three out and travelled supremely well in second turning for home.
Paul Carberry let him loose jumping the second last and he soon settled matters.
Made In Taipan ran a strange race and looked to suffer from serious steering problems.
Jumped out in front he lost the lead when drifting left before the sixth. He was very wide approaching the third last and dropped to rear.
A moderate fifth before two out he straightened up before the last and started to fly home, moving second on the run-in and closing all the way to the line.
Narqious had moved through to chase his stable-mate after the second last but could never get on terms and stayed on one paced, losing second place on the run-in.
Quintana had taken over the lead from Made In Taipan around halfway. He was headed by Dreamy Gent before the straight and was soon beaten before staying on again before the last.
Dreamy Gent stumbled when headed by Jered two out and was soon done with while Lyceum was ridden and beaten before the straight.
