Disko makes impressive debut, but Cheltenham ruled out

It was a case of the best wine being kept until last in Punchestown yesterday as the Noel Meade-trained debutant Disko proved the undoubted star of the show when bolting-up in the bumper.

Gigginstown House Stud have won a succession of bumpers this season, primarily thanks to Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott.

But Noel Meade couldn’t disguise the high regard in which he holds Disko after his fifteen lengths victory over Chain Gang.
