At The Wings (7/1) stayed on well to annex division one of the Millbrook Food Group 100 Years Handicap Hurdle over 2m3f in Navan.

Norman Lee's charge was produced after two out and hit the front before the last. He was kept up to his work on the run-in to score by two lengths in the colours of the Stones & Homes Syndicate.

Pure Logic took second at 12/1 and she was two-and-a-half-lengths clear of gambled-on Tuckmill (40/1 - 12/1).

O'Callaghan said: "We rode him the last day in Wexford, he had a hood on him, and we dropped him in stone last just to get him to switch off because he was always a little bit keen and gassy.

"There was no hood on him today, so we just rode him on heels and kept him covered up.

"He jumped like a buck and probably got there a bit too soon, probably idled a little bit going to the last.

"He has his head in front now and loved that today. he should come forward from that."
