In the driving rain at Powerstown Park the rude health of the 12-year-old Bachasson shone through as he belied a two-year absence to give Willie Mullins a sixth consecutive win in the Suir Blueway Chase.
Paul Townend rode a patient race aboard the odds-on favourite, delivered him to challenge early in the straight, and the grey showed himself in top form with big leaps at the last two fences.
