Golden Silver provided Willie Mullins with a third Arkle Perpetual Challenge Cup Novice Chase success as he rewarded shrewd market support at Leopardstown.

The Irish champion trainer saddled two of the four runners, with Ruby Walsh’s mount Jayo being sent off the 15-8 joint-favourite alongside Forpadydeplasterer. Golden Silver had initially been regarded as a second-string but after sustained support from 25-1 down to 9s landed a gritty success under Paul Townend.
