Chase The Moon added to a debut maiden hurdle win at Gowran in November when taking the David Trundley Artist At Punchestown Novice Handicap Hurdle at odds of 33/1.

The Philip Rothwell-trained gelding made headway between horses approaching the final flight and after leading early on the run-in, kept on strongly in the closing stages.

Tiernan Roche Power’s mount edged left on the run-in but still had three and a half lengths to spare over Roc My Haarth at the line, with Live To Laugh three-quarters of a length further back in third.

“He’s growing up the whole time. He still has a bit of growing up to do but he’s going in the right direction,” said the winning rider.

“He likes a dig in the ground. He’s a big horse and goes through the ground well.

“He’s a big, raw, backward horse and he’s just taking a bit of time.”
