Brian Ellison will aim Montefeltro towards the best staying handicaps in 2014 after his impressive victory in yesterday's Irish Cesarewitch.

In the hands of smart apprentice Robert Tart, the ex-Godolphin and John Ferguson-trained gelding was completing a hat-trick for his new handler in the valuable Curragh handicap after minor successes at York and Yarmouth.

"He's good - he's out in the paddock now and on his holidays," said Ellison.

"He did very well and we'll be looking at races like the Northumberland Plate and the Ebor for him next season."
