The grey All In Montmartre stays on best © Photo Healy Racing
All In Montmartre ridden by Conor Brassil for Henry de Bromhead, was a 20/1 winner of the Cab Plant Maiden Hurdle.
Pulled up in his only point-to-point for Pat Doyle and fitted with a tongue-tie for his rules debut, the grey tracked the leaders before making headway to challenge at the last. He came through between horses to lead early on the run-in and stayed on well to beat fellow outsider Tullybawn by a length and a quarter.
Robbie Power, representing Henry de Bromhead, said: "He's a nice horse, he jumps really, really well.
"They went very quick and Conor was in a lovely position and got into a lovely rhythm.
"He was green when he hit the front, hopefully there is improvement to come.
"That is as short a trip as he would want, he probably wants a bit further.
"He stayed going and he was green in front, he was pricking his ears and having a look around so he is a nice horse to look forward to and will keep tipping away for the summer.
"We will look for a little novice hurdle somewhere for him, probably over a little bit further.
"He's a horse we liked and he had been working well at home, so we were expecting a nice run."
