Possol team eye Gold Cup success after Perth victory

Possol emerged as a possible Hennessy Gold Cup contender when running out a convincing winner of the £35,000 stanjames.com Festival Chase at Perth.

Richard Johnson eased the Henry Daly-trained six-year-old into the lead turning for home in the three-mile test, and soon clear he had 22 lengths to spare over Ollie Magern at the line.
