Heron Heights got the better of stable companion Full Cry to provide Henry de Bromhead with a one-two in the Ryman Stationery Cheltenham Business Club Novices' Chase at Cheltenham.
Winner of three of his previous five starts over fences, Heron Heights was a 6-1 shot to add to his tally, but gave his supporters a heart-stopping moment when making a bad mistake at the very first fence.
However, jockey Phillip Enright sat tight and after regaining his composure, his mount jumped much better for the remainder of the three-mile contest.
Heron Heights raced a little keenly towards the rear, but started to make inroads running down the hill.
Full Cry and David Mullins hit the front before the home turn, but his stablemate covered the move and found most for pressure after the final fence to score by a length and three-quarters.
Gordon Elliott 2014 Triumph Hurdle hero Tiger Roll, the 6-4 favourite to add to his recent triumph in the Munster National, did not jump as well as the De Bromhead pair but battled on to finish third under Jamie Codd in an Irish-dominated finish.
