Maxxum (4-1) gave Gordon Elliott a fifth win in the William Hill Boyne Hurdle in Navan, the first leg of a Grade Two double and part of a treble for Cullentra House.
Ridden by Danny Gilligan, the eight-year-old, who led early, was left in front when stablemate Riviere D’etel was pulled up, lame, six from home and, found plenty when pressed by 2022 winner and 15-8 favourite Thedevilscoachman between the last two flights, staying on to score by four lengths.
