Jadanli wins Powers Gold Cup

Jadanli won a dramatic race for the Grade One Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse to give his Cheltenham Festival-winning trainer Paul Gilligan another mighty success.

The 25-1 shot was left clear when the luckless Zaarito came down at the third-last after the pair jumped it together.

Jadanli was out on his feet on the run-in but it was chaos behind him as Roberto Goldback fell at the final fence, Shakervilz was hampered and unseated Walsh, while a weary long-time leader Let Yourself Go refused.

Jadanli kept going for Andrew Lynch to win by 23 lengths and follow up Gilligan’s win with Berties Dream at Cheltenham.

Deal Done plugged on for second while Shakervilz was remounted to claim third prize. They were the only finishers.

“He ran well at Navan the last day. He’s a family horse, he injured his tendon and missed two years so it’s great to get him back,” said the County Galway trainer.

“We thought about the Irish National but as he was a novice we left it. That’ll be the long-term plan for next.

“He will go for the three-mile novice chase at Punchestown next.”
