The Willie Mullins-trained Fan De Blues, officially rated 11lb inferior to 1-3 shot Cape Gentleman, readily turned over the odds-on favourite in the BoyleSports Chase in Ballinrobe.

The seven-year-old, owned by Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, made all, jumped well, and had his rival on the back foot a long way from home, asserting from the second last to score by seven lengths to make the trip to Ballinrobe worthwhile for the owners’ retained rider Daryl Jacob.
