Impaire Et Passe produced a devastating performance to lead home a Willie Mullins one-two-three in the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Despite being the talking horse of the pre-Festival preview circuits he was usurped as favourite shortly before the tapes went up by Paul Nicholls' Hermes Allen and allowed to go off at 5-2.
