It’s taken a while but Majborough finally put it all together at Leopardstown on Sunday, powering to a spectacular 19-length victory over Marine Nationale in the Ladbrokes Dublin Chase.

Despite looking every inch a chaser, the 2024 Triumph Hurdle has struggled over the larger obstacles, his jumping gremlins costing him victory in the Arkle at last year’s Cheltenham Festival and contributing to defeats at Cork and Leopardstown this season.
