Keith Donoghue made it five wins from six rides on The Storyteller as Gordon Elliott’s charge justified 2/1 favouritism in the Grade 3 Irish Daily Star Salutes Our Frontline Heroes Chase in Punchestown today.

The race-fit nine-year-old provided both Elliott and Donoghue with the highlight of a double initiated by Eskylane in the opener.
