Don Cossack puts down early Cheltenham marker
The imposing six-year-old, owned by Gigginstown House Stud, failed to live up to high expectations as a novice hurdler last term, but showed where his future lies with an easy victory in the W.B. Gavin & Co. EBF Beginners Chase
Toon River made it a true test and led to two out, where Andrew Lynch brought Don Cossack to challenge and the Gordon Elliott-trained 10-11 favourite duly pulled away after jumping the last to power home by 20 lengths from Dressedtothenines.
